Ok but hear me out. Why not just update the itch.io version to the latest version on steam.....hes willing to give refunds but even buckshot roulette still respected its itch.io player base and continued to give its updates on itch for free without forcing platform switch and repurchase.
That's a fair perspective. I get that it's a frustrating situation, and I'll admit, I don't really understand the logic behind removing this version of it off itch.io. I don't really understand that logic, and I can understand those frustrations. I just think that a LOT of this hate he's receiving is a little bit overblown, and I can't help but feel bad for a small developer who seems to be trying his best, but has made mistakes.
I do appreciate your more fair perspective though, I've just seen SO MUCH hate being thrown or a lot of the anger just felt overblown, so I couldn't help but want to make a supportive statement because I didn't want this dev to just feel like he's drowning, because as a creative myself, I can empathize with how crushing that can feel.
