alt Hacker NewsIf the page said "Enter your Funko details to unlock…" or "Give us your credit card details to buy exclusive…"
Then I think it would be pretty reasonable to ask for it to be taken down.
But none of us know what was on that page or whether it was an overreaction.

I mean... we do? It is described here; top post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364033
To be clear, there is no issue with them making a DMCA takedown. This should be made to the operator (ie itch.io). They _did not do this_. Instead they complained to the registrar of phishing/fraud. Registrars, not unreasonably, take complaints of fraud seriously, and many will nuke first and answer questions later. However, clearly, no fraud was involved.
(I'm not sure if you're being wilfully obtuse, or if you suffer from the ol' Hackernews "reading the linked material is forbidden" problem, but I just don't see how you can defend the false complaint of fraud.)
