Ideally that does sound like what should happen now I looked more into his portfolio and lineup of what he has on patreon.

The suit is filed in such a horrible way it won't win many favours, especially with people predisposed against GW and their litigious past.

It does seem you are right for sure and I believe in defending your IP, even GW... but yeah I dunno, reading the language of this complaint etc, it's broad scope caused me to knee-jerk reaction. Even though I am STILL pro-gofundme because if he loses... oof, bad precedent.

All right, fair that does look pretty darn close and I would even say that that's approaching infringement, but then why Target this basset of the law which can put so much more at risk?

There were models that they named that absolutely should not be counted

Donate to Defend creative freedom against Games Workshop threats, organized by Francesco Pizzo Hi, my name is Francesco Pizzo, founder of Ghamak. Since 20… Francesco Pizzo needs your support for Defend creative freedom against Games Workshop threats

GamesWorkshop has crossed a line that I never thought they would, has taken an independent creator to court not because of copyright infringement... but because original designs he creates COULD be used as alternatives.

Desire to know more.

This one goes out to everyone who said Itchio should "just" switch to a special high-risk payment processor for adult content 🙃

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Don’t stop calling

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Very awesome that you are keeping up with it!

e-6695 (Consumer protection) Keywords Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography E-petition Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario Original language of petition: English Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

I know almost no one who could meet the standards set above. It feels like a deliberate attempt to hurt us.

So again, please, contact your local reps about this, contact new sources, and send in complaints to paypros!

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Hello to all the people who follow us at Team Dead Deer, and particularly any other Canadians.

Currently there is a Canadian petition which could protect all creators of Erotica and directly attacked Payment Processor Censorship in ALL forms

Please sign!
www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Signed! Reached out to some conservative party of Canada MPs and even they are receptive to this too, especially for debunking reasons after the trucker protests.

If we can get more agreement across the aisles, even if this doesn't make debate, it's a good sign.

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship
