Hi all! I'm trying to collect examples of romance and/or romance-adjacent games, book projects, comics, etc. that would have be affected by the Kickstarter, Patreon, Itch.io, or Steam adult content bans. Does anyone know any specific creators or projects which were at risk or were directly affected?
