After the boycott of adult video games, Steam and Itch platforms removed or restricted content that payment service providers opposed.These payment institutions are responding to the pressure exerted by anti-pornography groups "collective shouts".Many people believe that LGBTQ+ content will be affected, and this idea has become a reality now.

In-depth reports from Transgender News Network show that many independent developers say their works have been restricted or deleted on the Itch platform.These affected works even contain non-adult content, and Lily and lesbian-themed games seem to be hit disproportionately.

Game reporter Anna Valence specifically pointed out that more than half of the more than 200 entries of the "Toxic Lily Game Creation Festival" have been removed or restricted.Developer Milkboy said: "Itch is my only source of income. Now my girlfriend and I are on the verge of homelessness." Brazilian developer TangledVirus revealed: "My adult visual novels have been blocked. Although they have partially recovered after the label has been modified, their income has been hit hard."

Currently Itch only allows free adult games to be re-listed, but this cannot solve the livelihood problems of developers.
