Britain is handing sovereignty over its Indian Ocean Territory on Chagos Islands to Mauritius. This could cause ICANN to retire the .io top-level domain. If this happens, as Gareth Edwards explains in "The Disappearance of an Internet Domain", this will kill indie game store Itch.io along with free software project websites on GitHub.io and every single other site in .io. Moving the service to another top-level domain will break all inbound links and those games hosted on Itch that have not yet been updated by their authors to reflect the domain change.
