Since Itch are now indexing NSFW games that are free, you should use this to make a demo of your paid game and point people into the direction of your paid version. (free advertising)
Just strip out some content from your game and call it a demo 😂
Don’t link to the paid version on the demo page itself, instead do it at the end of the demo, so when a player reaches the end they will be met with “Did you enjoy the demo? - You can get the full game here {link}”.
SubscribeStar really is the move right now — Patreon got hit with the same card processor issues ages ago, so it's not exactly a safe bet. The free demo funnel idea is smart though, letting players actually finish something before seeing the full game link hits different than just slapping a buy button on the front page.
The irony of it was that Visa, Mastercard and Paypal came out as payment methods precisely for these sensitive content where you did not want people to know u subscribed to a porn site or transferred money more traceable to your bank statement.
They were built as an intermediary for precisely this.
They are trying very hard to forget this.
While I don't post NSFW stuff, but being the moral police for this is abit too... much...
