For the record, I don't understand why everyone is getting mad at me for suggesting they actually USE the service they are posting to. Isn't that how game sites are SUPPOSED to work?
Itch is a game platform, like Steam, GOG, or Epic Games. If you can't download apps directly through the service, then it is failing to do the main thing it is supposed to do. You realize you don't have to use the service at all, if it can't even do the thing it is supposed to be able to do. It's NOT normal to be so casual about jumping through hoops to use a service, when a critical component of the service doesn't work! It's not like there are no other sites offering the same service.
So, why is everyone pretending that it is ok to have to use incompatible workarounds to avoid issues with Itch, when for pretty much ANY other game site, they would be telling people to go to support to get the issues resolved so that they don't HAVE to use incompatible workarounds?
Seriously, for ANY other service, they would refuse to use the service AT ALL until the issues are resolved. But for some reason, people on Itch seem to get angry at the mere THOUGHT of getting support and getting issues resolved.
