Adjustments to Grove (Legacy Build)


Hello all! 
In light of some recent news, we've disabled the donations for Grove in order for it to become re-indexed. If you still wish to support us via donations, I suggest you take a look at our SubscribeStar account here: https://subscribestar.adult/grove-dev

We will provide another update on our paid products (Prowler and Snake:Byte) once we receive more information. Things are still very much up in the air at the moment, but the current situation is this: 
- Stripe looks to be gone for the foreseeable future due to their stance on NSFW in general (rather, their avoidance of the entire field), leaving itch with no viable direct card payment processor. 
- In lieu of Stripe, Itch are looking into alternative payment processors. We're assuming that if they are successful in finding a suitable alternative, paid NSFW titles may begin to reappear on the storefront.

We appreciate the support you've all provided us over these unusual few weeks!

To clarify, even with Stripe gone, it is still entirely possible to buy adult games (including Prowler and Snake:Byte) as long as you have Paypal, though it's unclear how much longer this will continue to be the case. The fears/reports of payout denials for NSFW creators seem to have also been inaccurate: Itch has officially claimed they have no intent to deny payouts, and that the language referring to such in their block/ban pages was only meant for extreme cases of willful TOS violation in general (Uploading something that's way, way beyond TOS and then hoping to cash out before you're caught, which was definitely a thing on Itch unfortunately). But we'll see. Still a lot in the air for sure. Best of luck to you guys.

“few weeks” it’s been 6 days *screaming externally*

I have had a very bad no good not fun time the past week as well, but as these things go they've actually been moving remarkable fast. And also actually attempting to do SOMETHING, unlike Steam which just killed off the problem games and moved on. I have been, and continue to be critical of a lot of the goofy things Itch does, but in this case they may actually end up handling it as well as could be expected. If they actually manage to have a new payment processor lined up and integrated within the next week, I'll be even more impressed. Something like that, unfortunately, takes time.

I think you misinterpreted my comment, I was responding to the last line in the main post

Ah, the dev's "few weeks" rather than the "few weeks" or "some time" vaguely mentioned throughout all this by Itch various time. Fair enough. Pardon, my mind tends to skip steps sometimes.
