Payment Processor Problem

We have some bad news, BMT Micro is going to close our account.

First they allow Paypal for adult content, and if you've noticed, recently they disable Google Checkout, Amazon Payment and Paypal from adult-material software.

And last night I got an email saying that they're going to close our account, starting next May. Apparently, they no longer support adult material, saying that it doesn't go the same direction that the company want to grow :(

I remember spending so much time looking for a payment processor that will take adult digital material. I don't understand why it's so hard in the Western countries where commercial pornography is accepted :(  In Japan it's so much easier because of Digiket, Surpara, DLSite, etc... I'm starting to understand why Japanese people don't internationalize their stuffs now.

I'm going to have a talk with my team about this. Maybe this is a good time for a change.

So, I'm going to disable all shareware games on our site for now.

Don't worry, I am not giving up on delivering bara game to the English speaking audience! I'll find one way or another :)  Though I need a break right now. It was sudden and unexpected.

Take care, guys
