there is a tabletop rpg with the premise that someone invented a time machine, but it only goes back to a specific date and you can't change the present or bring things back with you.

the military got excited then sold it off as useless.

the company that bought it couldn't find a way to sell it.

Why is @itch.io hosting nazi propaganda?

Kudos to @drivethrurpg.com for banning this literal nazi propaganda.

This is the second edition of the game posted on @itch.io. I reported the first, and have reported the second.

Does itch not care about hate speech and nazi propaganda?

Neat: If a publisher doesn't claim their earnings, @itch.io will deduct "Ten percent (10%) of the original revenue earned per purchase older than twelve (12) months" PER MONTH until your balance reaches zero.

There's no obligation on their part to pay out in a timely fashion.

It would be neat if the "doing something" including paying out the money I need.

I feel like a whole lot of the "itch is just trying their best, guys!" defenders might change their tune if they were the ones having payments withheld for months because ?????????????????, just a hunch

It'd be awesome if there was any explanation for how some people will go to claim a payment from itch and it'll take, charitably, a few weeks, and then for some people it'll take 4-5 months

One week ago, I launched a new #indie #ttrpg, Iytch Better Have My Money.

Employing the Kinetic Engine used so successfully in Kill Him Faster, this is a protest game.

It's been --107 days-- since I clicked "initiate new payment" on @itch.io and I still haven't been paid.
