Supposedly, itch.io is looking for alternate payment processors.
For the love of God, just use crypto. You guys used to accept Bitcoin. Who the fuck cares if you get backlash from the anti-crypto crowd? They'll get over it. Some of them even use it when e-begging via the MutualAid hashtag on here.

I was thinking the exact same thing, but I have zero experience with crypto development. Is there a way to have a sandboxed crypto network for testing purposes or do people test this stuff with wallets on the actual network?
@xianc78@gameliberty.club
Any crypto worth using definitely has a testnet that can be used.
But @silverpill@mitra.social has subscriptions working via XMR in @mitra@mitra.social
It's absolutely achievable, but I'm sure silverpill can give us an idea on how much work would be involved.
2. Lots of people - especially in executive financial roles - aren't allowed to exchange in crypto for obvious reasons

@xianc78 straight up if steam/itch just stopped accepting anything but crypto that would actually make me go and set up a wallet.
@xianc78@gameliberty.club
Allegedly the payment processors consider it 'high-risk' if you accept crypto (or the wrong ones) so it's likely not that simple.
