Itch.io has delisted Mal.O Interactive...


Hey all! This morning all NSFW games got delisted from itch, including mine and a couple of my friends. This is in huge part due to the Collective Shout movement on fictional steam games, but it is extremely frustrating as its where I get most of my income to continue making content like this. 

Some believe this movement is for a good cause, but Im afraid that creators that have done no wrong are being caught under the crossfire. Im worried of what might come to other sites like patreon or X if this continues, and with my income cut completely, i fear that I might not be able to keep pushing out updates for long if nothing is done about it. 

Steam seems to be hit as well, although not as hard. You can show your support by helping to wishlist Smilers Den on Steam! Even if you aren't interested in the game, it helps to motivate me to keep moving forward! PS:  MalO On Camera will come to steam if this blows over ;)

From what I can tell, itch is working to see if they can put our games back online. For now, nothing is uncertain.

If you wish to support the return of freedom of expression please help to sign this petition. Much love, and Godspeed

If you live in the US, consider looking into ways to get support for the "Fair Access to Banking Act 2025"

I Hope the best for you MikiY, What they have done is unacceptable. I hope itch can get everything back on list.

You don't get it. This is not for a good cause, these moralistic feminists are puppets of the Payment Services Mastercard/Visa. They don't care how fictional these games are, as they even put a list together with content that needs banished from Steam and aiming guns at people counts as a sexual act for them.

I wouldn't count on any support or help from Steam and Itch, they are big but not mighty enough to stand against the Payment Services. Time to lay low and go for "Kid friendly" games for now. But then again, how long until they get to ban every game they deem "unfit", considering that Collective Shout endorses the Movie "Cuties" and has nothing against sexualising Men in games.

They're not feminists, they're conservatives using an infantilizing, reductionist, patronizing take on feminism as a facade to hide their agenda -- to control women, to silence dissent, to take away freedom of thought, and to force people into their narrow little world-view.

Folks like Collective Shout would rather fight furry porn than stop their authority figures from raping children, because those authority figures have money.
