Itch situation and promise

Added 2025-07-24 17:28:37 +0000 UTC

Well its been a wild day.

Itch has shadowbanned/unindexed us and practically all FVNs that I read. It's an appalling situation and all of us are shook and are waiting to see what befalls us. Itch.io have put out their statement and will be reviewing their policies.
We at IFS have never asked for money on itch and I hope that will mean something, but even if we are spared the guillotine, it is against our own message of resisting an outside and dangerous threat if we just let this happen.

The pressure from Visa and Mastercard may come to Patreon. I don't think it will, and I hope it won't, since Patreon has always been very supportive of NSFW and Adult content, but it might happen and we will have to rethink how and where we do things.

However. In Finite Space has always been, and will continue to be, unapologetically adult in nature. Sexuality, Freedom of Expression, and Self has been a cornerstone of this visual novel and I refuse to bend to the whims of those who think we shouldn't.

Regardless of the scary times ahead, regardless of how we do it, where we do it, and when we do it, In Finite Space WILL continue. We will fight tooth, nail and claw for the right to produce this.

We know not everyone is in a position themselves to fight, or know how. There is no worry there, just your support is enough, your thoughts of us are valid. If you can, go on socials, rally on the petitions, and talk to people about this abhorrent abuse of power and censorship.

I hope to bring you all much better and fun news (and maybe good news) in the coming weeks.

Thank you all again for the support you have, and continue to show us.
