itch.io was taken down by Funko because of some automated brand protection service
https://bsky.app/profile/itch.io/post/3lcu6h465bs2n > (From the official itch account on Bluesky) 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 >(Continuation via Twitter) Also, for transparency, we *did* take the disputed page down as soon as we got the notice because it's not worth fighting stuff like that. Regardless, our registrar's automated system likely kicked to disable the domain since no one read our confirmation of removal you can't make this up

Both iconic names that shut down, had their trademark taken by an unrelated company, and now do crypto related things.


finally, the third mario brother.
