...Community moderators can't do anything about it, and if admins don't reply, then who exactly are you yelling at?
I've notified our admins to read this topic too.
you ask who we are addressing with our questions over and over again, when you have already answered (forwarded the message) and we know for sure that the admins will not answer anyway (that's why we are here!)
In the topic: " anyone who is a real ITCH.IO employee"
You are a voluntary, not empoyee.
if I may allowe a personal question from people to people: Do you (No Time To Play) really expect us to be let this thing (our money!) go?
It is a YES or NO question!
And please don't say that this is allready answered (we should take the official channel), becouse this (and you too) will lead us in circles.
I’m not attacking you. but I even appreciate that you feel that way you clearly have a lot of love for itchio and that's good, I'm doing the only thing I can other than sitting on my thumb. I’ve played your work and genuinely enjoy it. I find the ascii styling charming. Unfortunately my format is to leave a comment with my gameplay footage and then rate the game after because I dont like to just rate a game. I find the gameplay footage makes my comment more sincere because through my gameplay you can tell if I actually got passionate about the game and enjoyed it. But I got lowkey addicted to that procedurally generated maze one where you collect syntax and at first the fear mechanic was really confusing to me but then I was speeding through like a bad ass. THEN I read that you needed to go in the bottom right corner and was like :O ohhhhhhhhhhh and stopped playing cause i got embarrassed. So I hope that clears up that im not yelling at you and infact dont really view you in a negative light aside from perhaps how i am upset with itchio as a platform and i do view you as a part of the 'itchio team', genuinely my bad if i made you feel that way. You're a indie game developer and I appreciate most indie game developers you included. That's besides the point though.
edit; honestly i just thought about it and "if the admins dont reply, then who exactly are you yelling at" is pretty much you saying the admins probably aren't going to do anything and you're the only one who is going to read this so why subject you to this? am i off?
What’s happening on Itch.io is a widespread issue, and the only way anything changes is if the community speaks together. Creators should be able to approve or filter what posts on their own pages maybe they could have the option to do it on a game by game basis or as a general blanket on anything their account puts out; even if staff doesn’t act, at least the community would know what creators want.
Itch.io has been great, in the past... but this is a new era and itchio is losing face. I might be upset but I STILL dont want itchio to fail. Lack of action is not going to help that. Open communication is how change happens, and formal complaints go nowhere. I want itchio to take notice of the outrage and do something. Hopefully that is the outcome regardless of how I am interpreted.
Am I upet? Yeah. I don’t want to resent Itch.io, but many of us do and moreso by the day. The silence and lack of visible management are driving people away. If the admins choose not to act, that’s on them—but at least the community will have clearly voiced its concerns.
