problem is evs keep claiming purge without noticing the real reason their games are being removed. if you look into it more you will see that most focused on paid versions. and then having ultra slow almost non exdidtant updates. best way for games to remain on itch without issue is not to use it for earning money, do that on subscribestar and patreon, on itch you can still direct to sub and pat but have a free version as wel and i dont mean a "demo" version i mean full to date game version but give the paying players advance access to the most recent updates. i use to sub to multiple evs on pat and sub but i got tired of lack of timely updates or even any update by the dev of delays. alot of those games that were also on f95zone have been marked as abandon by both users and f95zone. moral of this is that devs need to stop complaining and blaming itchio for removing their works from teh platform when the truth is obvious to those who look.
