AI Brandshield Shields Itch.io from Complete Closure
Funko has issued a statement regarding the temporary suspension of the Itch.io platform, allegedly triggered by its brand protection software. Let's delve into Funko's response. Funko Emphasizes No Intent for Full Platform Takedown
Private Discussions Underway with Itch.io
Funko's official X (formerly Twitter) account addressed the situation, stating their strong support for indie games and developers. They acknowledged that their brand protection partner, BrandShield, flagged an Itch.io page mimicking a Funko Fusion development site, leading to a takedown request. However, Funko clarified they did not intend to shut down the entire platform and expressed relief at Itch.io's swift restoration.
Funko confirmed they've contacted Itch.io to discuss the matter and appreciate the gaming community's understanding while the situation is resolved.
Itch.io's owner, Leaf, offered a different perspective on Hacker News, describing the incident not merely as a takedown request, but a "fraud and phishing report" submitted to both the hosting provider and registrar. The registrar's automated system responded by taking down the entire domain, despite Leaf's immediate action to remove the offending page. Leaf also revealed (a detail omitted from Funko's statement) that Funko's team contacted his mother.
For a more comprehensive account of the Itch.io shutdown, refer to Game8's previous report.
