Wednesdays is free for a few more hours.
Please check out Wednesdays, free today, a well reviewed (and not bleak!) game made by a survivor:
"We received dozens of messages from survivors telling us Wednesdays helped them better understand what happened to them, gave them the strength to talk, and hope for the future."
Thank you Pierre!
Keep checking out Wednesdays! I was moved by @amabel.bsky.social's description: "This is an important, beautiful game that made an immeasurable positive impact on my life. I highly recommend it." Here's a video Amabel made about the game:

oh, no! okay. so, to be clear, you're saying you're seeing $0 as your available balance of payments, and can't initiate a payout? if you want, please email and i can look into it with/for you.
I am alive and out of Florida.
I'm pretty happy here but until my PC and most of my stuff arrives I'm stuck using a steam deck so I might be out of communication for a bit.
Thank you for all of your support up until now.
i know waiting is terrible, but you're still in the "normal" current timeframe at least, even though it's longer. i think people were waiting a lot longer even a few months ago.
i know waiting sucks, but that timeframe is at least not indicating a problem or anything yet. also, happy to be your first payout!!
i'm so glad to hear that!! wonderful. good luck with your new projects!
It's seeming like the questions I received were straightforward payout questions. If you're part of the bundle, you can trigger a payout from your itchio dashboard or at this link (make sure you're logged in):
itch.io/dashboard/pa...
If this doesn't solve any issues you're having, let me know.
& honestly, if your payments appeared normally and looked exactly like always, that would be helpful to know too! Just need some data please πβοΈ
Please don't become alarmed or post to itchio or anything -- I'm trying to understand a situation that I'm hearing about but don't know the details of, and people asking don't use technical terms or whatever and that's fine so I'm just trying to figure it all out. Can't help with stuff I don't know.
If you've noticed a difference like this, could you please reply or email and let me know? We don't have payments so I can't see it myself. (So e.g. normally you would see a balance of, say, $200 that you can pay out. This year, your balance may still say $0. I'm guessing here.) Thank you!!
Good morning! I've heard from a couple of people that their itchio payments from this year's bundle have not been released. I don't think they mean payout delays, but I'm not sure of that. Typically, the payments release on a two-week delay, but this year hasn't been typical (π). (cont'd)
Catch me tomorrow afternoon talking about part of my dissertation work on the @queergamesbundle.bsky.social !!! β¨
if you missed it in the @queergamesbundle.bsky.social, my game Time Bandit is back on sale for 50% off on Steam! you have not missed your chance to be gay & do crimes, such as stealing from your boss and bringing down capitalism. in fact itβs never too late
