Bitcoin existing is not going to make Itch.io not want to accept payments via Visa.

Porn is a tiny market. It’s not worth it losing the payment processors everyone is on to serve porn game buyers.

I agree with this point but I don't agree with the premise. I don't really care about the censorship of porn, but it is a slippery slope to censorship in general. If you give them an inch they will take a mile.

I think there is sometimes a business justification of putting your foot in the ground, even if the short term consequences are harsh.

I’m not making a value judgement here. Just looking at it from the point of view of a business.

I'm not sure I agree. In the context of gaming, perhaps, but most of the Internet traffic is basically pornography.

When I say market here I mean something people pay for, where producers can convince people to spend money.

I’m quite sure there is not a lot of people paying for porn. The money people are making surely comes from ads and data hoarding.
