Please, tell me more about you feel paying someone pennies for their time spent developing something you can enjoy for hours is wrong

Again. This isn't some corporation with a team. It's one guy doing what he can with what he understands about the policies of each of the store and made some hiccups. Treating his game like it isn't worth the price you paid is garbage behavior. You have a fully playable game on itch. And another version on steam. This isn't even the first game to release varying versions across stores?

you still are avoiding the important point of. Why didn't he simply release the steam version on itch.io. nacho comes off as disingenuous simply because he claims he wanted to give the steam release to all itch.io players for free but couldn't due to limited keys. If that's true and he does want to give the game from. Why not just upload it to itch for itch players. He's contradicting himself. If he wants that extra $3 just say "I think the steam release has enough to warrant another $3". Like...be honest with the fans. Even more so the itch.io fans.

Literally buckshot roulette gave itch.io a free update on steam release. This scenario is no different.

There's no "understanding policies" when a very clear and easy solution is to either tell everyone outright "Ok I lied. I don't want to give the game out for free and was cockblocked by steam. I just think it has enough to warrant a re-purchase". Again him being blocked by steam simply makes no sense when the alternative solution is to simply update the itch.io version to what we see on steam.

I have been honest with everybody, the game on steam is other game, it is not an update, it is a remake of the game. So because it is a new game I can not put it here as an update since that will violate the policies and conditions of steam.

Buckshot roulette publish the same game, that is the difference. But people still think that the game on steam was an update even when I said a bunch of times that it is a remake/reboot.

it's still the same guy my guy. I know you likely made it again byc scratch which is a lot of work. You can't claim it's completely new though when it's not. You've reused literally all the same art assets. The game is still 95% the same minus the additions. The additions would have been an update. You can convince yourself it's a remake/reboot as much as you want. It's an update that you remade.

I'm a 3d artist. If someone wanted to pay me £100 for a 3D model but I redid it 3 times. I'm not going to charge them £300. I'm going to charge them for the final product. You can fool who you want but as a developer the steam release is an update.

I think people are having issues because before you have talked about a steam version and how you would give it to people "free of cost," because of that whether the steam game is a remake or not doesn't matter to the majority. Which sucks but sometimes things end like that people are gonna complain about one thing or another
