That's true, but at least Steam did not hide NSFW games from search/recommendations (if you had mature content enabled), which Itch.io did without warning. And I assume that NSFW games likely represent a far higher % of revenue/user activity compared to normal games for Itch than for Steam.

While this rubs one the wrong way.

Steam has the power to fight if it needed to hold its ground while it adjusts its policy.

With itch, I doubt so. In one swell swoop itch would be in the water; immediately action required.

I am not saying it's the correct way but to save a ship from being sank, credit card stuff are normally merciless...

Mind you, the exact same situation steam faces right now, itch.io had been facing ~3 months ago. If the current state of itch.io is anything to go by, things are still likely to get worse for steam.
Steam *banned* a smaller fraction of games.
