So after a few days I decided to try once more to explain why I am not pirating anything and that I have permission to sell all of these games. A few hours later I got an reply which said the items were suspended in error and would be reinstated right away.
And indeed, all of the games are up for sale on Etsy again.

I have no idea why they chaged their mind, but for now this matter has a happy ending :)

I have an update regarding the #gameboy #games in the #etsystore situation.
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for the support in and outside the #gbdev community, it might have even helped a bit!

I noticed that even though the last response from Etsy mentioned it was their final decision and they would not reconsider, I noticed the help ticket was still open.

At this point in time only the blank cartridges and GB Interceptors are still for sale on etsy from my Game Boy related items. If you would like to buy any of the games, please do so at ferrantecrafts.com
Shipping and, depending on taxes in your region, also games might even be cheaper for you there.
P.S. Set the shop currency to euros for the cheapest price to avoid it rounding up in your currency.

This seemed to be confirmed when I finally got a human to tell me they removed the items because they were a resold item.
However, after I explained all of this, they suddenly changed the reason to promoting piracy by selling unauthorized or counterfeit copies of video games.
Since I have permission from all game creators, who make their own games, I explained this, but the conversation was abruptly ended by Etsy mentioning they now consider the case closed and will not reconsider.

Some of you may have noticed some #gameboy games disappearing from the #etsyshop over the past 3 months. I've been trying to contact #etsy since they removed the first one, but it took 2,5 months to finally get an actual reply instead of the automated ones.

I assume this started because there are now clones popping up on Aliexpress, so some bot probably detected it and thought I wasn't making the cartridges and other things myself.

@gameboyscene @ganonmaster @DiConX @ferrantecrafts They arrived today and both seem to work at least USB-wise. No Gameboy here for testing though.
(I can run the firmware on a plain RP2040 which is also recognized as USB video device, however it does not stream the idle screen. Probably because it's not running the TinyUSB task properly then.)

Thank you all for the warm welcome and all the fun discussions before and after the talk!

It has been a while since I have released a new game, but here it is! Ninja Twins, a puzzle game from the developer you might know from for example Death Planet or Quartet!
