I literally can't agree to disagree. You're flat out wrong and don't have a understanding of how this works. Like....your insulting my intelligence on a industry I quite literally work in. I've been a game developer 10 years. You're under the impression the process is completely different than it actually is.

Itch.io is not steam. You are not actually "updating" the game when you upload new files. You're simply reuploading the entire game again. You download all the game files again. On steam when an update occurs. It on re-downloads those specific files that have been updating. This is not the case on itch.io. When a "update" for the game is release you download an entire new game. Even if the only new addition was 10kb. You still download the whole 5gb game again (example numbers)

I truly do not understand how you do not realize this. I really do not want to insult your intelligence but I've explained it as clear as day and you're still saying I'm incorrect when I'm quite literally not.

Like. I'm at an inpass here....

Sorry you feel that way. Don't mean to insult your ego on anything. Also, what you're saying is he puts the steam game on itchio. They are two different games. And steam guidelines state you can't directly "upload" Steam games to another platform or location. If that's what you've been getting at this whole time then I apologize for the confusion.

you're not insulting my "ego". Imagine telling a chef of 10 years that cutting meat with a spoon is better. That's how this conversation feels. I'm telling you how the process works and you're saying it doesn't work that way. Even though it does. Then tried to say we agree to disagree. I am factually telling you how the process works.

Also what? Steam has no such guidelines. You can upload your game to as many places as you want? Games release on itch.io, steam, epic store. At this point you are just making things up??? The only guidelines that prohibits uploading a game to another location is if you're the customer. I can't buy the steam game and upload it to another platform...as a customer. As a developer steam does not restrict you.

I honestly dont know what say. This last comment about steam guidelines makes it pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about.

That is incorrect. A quick google search will tell you that. I see this is just going to be us going in circles, I'm sorry you can't calm down and move on. Have a blessed day.

"Steam's Distribution Agreement does not impose exclusivity; developers are free to sell their games on multiple platforms. "

You are quite literally pulling all this out of thin air. Nothing you have said is correct. You're making yourself believe something that's untrue as justifications. If you want to support the developers decision that's fine. Don't believe your made up misinformation and then distribute that misinformation to other people. That's not good.

like. I am presenting you with facts. There are plenty of games that sell on steam, epic games, itch.io and more platforms. There is no way you actually believe steam has a exclusivity clause???

Honestly at this point I have to assume you're trolling and rage baiting. I would like to believe you're smart enough to not actually believe half these made up statements.
