This one goes out to everyone who said Itchio should "just" switch to a special high-risk payment processor for adult content ๐Ÿ™ƒ

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

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 โ€œadult onlyโ€ content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processorโ€™s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as โ€œadult onlyโ€;
    As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has โ€œdeindexedโ€ 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!

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!

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

Nope! Cards are specifically the enemy behaviour, the player's abilities and skills are all fairly traditional.

Player skills and actions consume 2 meters, AP and Stamina, and some of your skills can discard the enemy deck, reshuffle it, or view ahead to see what is coming up.

25.08.2025 01:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We will be for sure giving it a shot and registering on GoG, I hear they only accept NSFW games if they are on steam first though, so we might wait to register on GoG after our demo is live.

None of the erotic scenes are non-con, every "Sexy Time" animation etc is consensual, but there are darker themes and discussions of them, but we don't involve these themes in the erotica content.

25.08.2025 01:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Combat is turn-based, limb targeting and bleeding for HP pools.

Enemy behaviours are dictated via card decks unique to each enemy. Skills let you view ahead, re-shuffle, or remove enemy card/attacks!

We are still doing out best to balance it, but yeah! Turn-based combat.

Any bugs we'll be obligated to address later, possibly translations, in terms of DLC or additions, we don't have any current plans. There are a couple directions we could go, but content focus most likely will center on Avarice
