Hey Niven. Just a heads up (since Itch apparently doesn't tell creators when this happens) that it seems that many or perhaps all your games have been flagged with the "WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined" message. As a test, I tried downloading Hollow Sight, Subdue, Spare, and Primary Color Man - Revival. All of them gave that warning message. You have many games, so I haven't tried them all, but it's possible that many more games have also been flagged.

I've played your games before and never had any issues, so I'm sure the problem is on Itch's end. Hopefully, customer service can eventually fix this issue, but I want to be sure that you know so that you can contact them as needed.

Thanks for all the great work you do creating games!

Hi. If you go to my main profile, you can read all info. I am not publishing games anymore on this platform, because they flagged my profile in general. All the games are fine to play, but I doubt anyone will ever come across to them because it doesn't come up in the search tab as well. 

So yeah, best of luck and thanks for the comment. 

Edit: Just FYI, they flagged my profile for no reason, they didn't give me anything or answered to my emails, which I sent almost 2 months ago when they flagged my first game. I wanted to clarify that there is nothing wrong with any game whatsoever.

As a long time player, I never had any issues with your games or proc'ing any warning or threats for people looking at playing your games.
Your games are amazing, fun to play and always a good time.
I hope at some point, Itch.io gets their crap together and does something or addressing the issue.
Where ever you end up next, crafting new projects or on a new platform, always wish the best, you create awesome games and hope things work out for you.

Ah, didn't see the main message on the main profile. Sorry about that. It's sad that you won't be making any more games on Itch, but it's perfectly understandable considering how the website has treated you. Best of luck on your future projects! I hope you're able to find a publishing platform that treats you fairly. 

Also, thank you very much for keeping your already created games available on Itch. I'm sure they'll continue to entertain and bring happiness to people, even if for now it's only your followers that can find them. Hopefully some day Itch will release the restriction on your page and they'll be available in search again.

I wish you all the best!

Are you on any other platforms? I would hate for this to be the end of your art.

I am on YouTube, I don't have anything else, so, yes, this is the end of Apish Box Games and game production.
