Questions about NSFW games re-indexing

Hi! Hope the community is doing great. I searched the recent topics and didn't find answer for my question.

1) The last thing I know about reindexing of NSFW games is the official message posted by @leafo 3 months ago. Did we get any "unofficial" news since that? Are paid NSFW games forever desindexed of the platform? If not, did they give us any timeline at all?

2) I have a free demo version of my paid game with a link to the paid version. The "no payment" demo version got deindexed too. This is not a case fleshed out in the info I searched, so I would like to know if it's not permitted to have free demo versions of paid NSFW games.

I want to say that Itch.io has been a great positive thing in my life and for the people that work with me. You guys do amazing work. And I hope that you can solve this problem in a way that is good for the platform, developers and payment processors. Cheers.

As far as I'm aware the ability to make profit from itch.io for nsfw games is no longer possible, you can get your games re-indexed and visible but need to go for "No Payment" option which is great for getting discovered but obviously no source of income. Still you can link to your patreon or such if peeps who really wanna tip ya can have a way to do so. But as for direct payments from itch that pry won't be a thing anymore til the whole "Nsfw == Bad" blows over if it ever does. 

Regardless atleast my stuff is still getting noticed even if i cant make a profit from itch directly anymore so don't give up on itch, if nothing else it's great advertisement, :3
