Moving off of Gumroad to Itch.io

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago by Harrie

I'm still in the process of moving and it'll be a while before I can get everything set up as I'm unfortunately busier than I'd like to be, but since it's already been a couple days since everything happened on Twitter I wanted to let my intentions be known!

For those unaware, the CEO of Gumroad made an absolute ass of himself on Twitter, lying repeatedly about having no plans for NFT/crypto on Gumroad while logs both posted by their former artist/designer and the CEO himself very clearly show otherwise, and especially notably as many people missed this part—breaking GDPR by publicly lying about someone having a Gumroad account for the sake of a Twitter gotcha. He can PR talk his way through the NFT stuff and claim "no plans" and be as wishy washy about it as he likes, but there's no talking around the act of flagrantly misusing people's data that legally can only be used with an individuals direct consent.

Needless to say, I am left with little confidence in both the platform from a moral standpoint, and also I do not feel confident in the security and stability of the platform with the CEO behaving like this!

So I have been looking into moving onto itch.io these past couple days, and I'll make another update when I've finally gotten set up regarding sales transfers if I can figure out a solution for it, and of course a link to my store.

In the meantime, I suggest purchasing from my ko-fi store over gumroad! But, both options are still available for the meantime.
