Itch.io was offline for a few hours, and it was all due to Funko and an AI tool it uses to generate claims, Itch.io claims.
Itch.io, a popular indie game marketplace, was down yesterday and today because of Funko , according to an X post shared by Itch.io. Itcho.io claims that the company behind Funko Pops uses “some trash AI-powered” software that generated a “bogus phishing report” to the site’s registrar. Although Itch.io responded, the registrar still disabled the domain. Itch.io believes the site was taken down by an automated system.
