    Why are you assuming they are grinning about it? They were hosting this all before in a very laissez fair approach. Unbelievable. It’s not “bearing” the payment processors, it’s existential. Either they do as they say or they go offline, how hard is this to understand?

        My bad, thanks for the headsup. Missed that because of the negation. So yeah my original reply is a mess but that doesn’t change that this is existential and the community opposing itch doesn’t make any sense.

          The community taking it out on itch is definitely misplaced blame and a lack of understanding how much power the payment processors have.

      The most the payment processors can do is refuse to work for them. All the free games will still be available and they’ll have to find new payment processors.

        Like who? You realize there’s only a handful and they operate as a single entity, right?
