Valve just did the same thing. Valve who’s pretty famous for fighting back did the same thing.

C'mon, that's whataboutism. Let's focus on itch.io.

Those words are lawyer words. Not truth, lawyer words.

Yes. And I'm blaming them for that.

I surely doubt itchio would come away scot free if they went to the press and said that they were forced

The payment mafia is all about "brand damage". If itch io said the truth in the statement, while still complying with their threat, I don't think the mafia would cut it off - because doing it would bring a lot of brand damage to the mafia.

"Look at itch io! You can't even criticise the payment mafia, it'll get in your way! We need to rely on alternative payment systems!" is a situation even the payment mafia would want to avoid.
