Dawg, are you just trying to ignore the situation that it was clearly accidental because Nacho didn't do research before he promised the Steam key and refund? He KNOWS his mistakes and he apologized, but i feel like, i saw you keep blaming him because he can't put the Steam version on here as well. Here are the reasons that will make it clear EVEN if you're still not gonna accept his mistakes.
1. The remake was specifically made for Steam. It was his decision. Both Itch.io and Steam have different systems. Porting it back to Itch.io isn't as simple as dragging and dropping files, it requires a LOT of process, adjustments, coding, testing, and extra work to make it function properly.
2. The remake isn't just an update. People misunderstood this and keep acting like the remake is just a patch to the itch.io version when in reality, it is a separate build and the UI even looks different. If it were just an update, Nacho WOULD'VE done that in here from the start. He clearly wanted to EXPAND the game since he wants to try something new and adapt his game to another new platform.
3. The free Steam key situation wasn't really his fault. This is the problem that most people mentioned. I know it's his mistake, but this wasn't a deliberate decision to "force people to buy it again", it was a mistake caused by misunderstanding Steam's policies but people just keep blaming him for that way too much.
4. People spreading the game for free is the issue that is MOST concerning. Nacho already mentioned that people have STOLEN his game and upload it elsewhere. If he put the remake on Itch.io as well, it would make it EASIER for people to grab the files and distribute them illegally while Steam have way stronger protection. Most people fail to realize that this is the actual crime. Nacho actually didn't mind it at first, but you people think he's the one who needs to be blamed so much here is just NOT okay and i don't really get the logic.
I hope you actually read this but if you don't, then i just assume that you will never understand the real situation that is going on right now. Most of my friends who are "real" TNMN fans in another social medias are with me, so i honestly don't care if i'm gonna receive downvotes and hates here, i tried to remind people and defend Nachosama because WE didn't expect people here are literally so messed up and no wonder if Nacho decide to stop developing TNMN or making other games, some of you can't even give him a break when this is literally his mistakes for the first time, some of you just pushed him WAY. TOO. MUCH. Congrats for destroying an indie dev's passion and TNMN development, i'm so disappointed with you people! 👏👏👏
