I just typed the name of the game into the browser search engine for fun to see what it would give me besides your game page on itch.io . I didn't think that games with itch.io They are also susceptible to piracy, as are games from Steam. However, this piracy can be justified, because some people cannot buy the game not because of financial problems, but simply because payment systems are unavailable depending on the country. For example, I am from Russia and I cannot use PayPal because it cannot be registered in Russian, only in other CIS countries. I can't even pay for a subscription to SubscribeStar.Adult is not easy because payment systems are unavailable, but simply because SS itself does not allow me to do this

I thought I saw that you wrote that you are ready to give access keys to the game if someone really does not have the opportunity to buy the game in the usual way, I would like to discuss this with you on this topic, but in a more private setting. Do you have a discord or other social media?

I assume by your user name you may be in the fandom: do you have an FA account? If so, you can drop me a note there, I'm just "bitshift".

I will point out a few things as well that may be useful. First, my Substar page is under .art rather than .adult, as it contains no actual humans. This is a split substar did a while ago for various reasons. Second, in addition to the typical credit card payments, Substar also now has a "wallet" feature that can be be filled with various means, including crypto. I know this is a big hassle, and a lot of people don't want to mess with it or are unable to, and I'm also not sure if Substar is simply ip-banning Russian use at the moment, but I thought it might be worth pointing out. Regardless, drop me a note on FA if you can and we can talk further there.

But yes, obviously if people are literally unable to buy my games due to thoroughly enforced international sanctions, I have no problem with them pirating at that point.

In fact, I wrote to you a long time ago in the FA, my account is named Bendy (please do not watch my favs), you will see a comment on your FA page. I also decided to check if your nickname in FA matches any discord account and entered your nickname with FA into the friends search bar and he found an account with such a nickname, the only thing I could do after that was send a friend request to this account and that's it, he doesn't accept messages. I do not know if this is your account or not, it's just an incredible coincidence.

Edit: I noticed how you wrote to me on FA that you don't have a discord, then the situation with that account from the discord becomes more mysterious.

Again, no discord. If there's a "bitshift" there, it's not me. Second, if you are on FA, like I said, send me a note and we can talk there.
