Itch.io Taken Down by Funko

bsky.app itch.io (@itch.io)

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

  • At first I was like "WTF does an indie games site have to do with Funko?" then I Googled it...

    Looks like they hosted a BUNCH of infringing games, so Funko, instead of doing the righteous thing and sending them a takedown request, just nuked the whole domain...
