Hi, I’d be happy to clear it up.
At this moment, purchasing Warplanes on itch.io and uploading it using the SideQuest app is the only official way to get the full version and support us. We’d like to be in as many stores as we can, but in some cases it is not up to us.
We are proceeding within industry standards. If you decide to purchase a game on itch.io or GOG – in most cases – you aren’t getting extra keys for Steam or Epic.
We don’t know any specific details regarding merging SideQuest into Oculus environment.
We don’t know if the game will be released on Oculus Store, we sent our pitch once again, but it is not up to us. So there is no point of speculating on “what if”.
Of course, if you purchased your game on itch.io, you’ll be getting all updates on itch.io.
There is one conclusion - SideQuest and itch.io are awesome. We wouldn't have this conversation if not those two platforms. I understand, sometimes I get frustrated myself that I can’t build my library on one platform. But at the end it’s all about games, not storefronts. :)
Best
