Viewing post in Login with same account using multiple terminals(PCs) at the same time

Generally we ask that one person owns a single account, but if you have a specific requirement to have multiple people share an account then we won’t stop you (for example, a publishing account, or an account representing an organization).

As for paid content, do not share accounts to mass distribute something that is behind a paywall. If suspicious activity is detected on a purchase then the payment may be refunded and your account blocked from purchasing.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

So, can itch.io's developers rely on the administrative monitoring of undesirable simultaneous usage of a single purchased license?

Or, itch.io's developers had better implement some protection on their games by themselves, so that the game can never be allowed to play at multiple PC devices simultaneously by a single purchased license, preparing their own authentication servers (and checking some player’s id every time)?

With regards,

As a developer, if you want DRM in your product then you must provide it yourself. We will not automatically block access to a purchase page, any intervention done by our team would be handled by a person. Hope that helps.

Thanks.

I understand developers, too, had better try to figure out what they can do by themselves for protection.
