Again, you're coming after the wrong person here. I did not make this decision. itch.io is the one that decided I am no longer allowed to sell my work on their platform. I am more than happy to give you copies of the games that you've bought and paid for. There are simply not many places I can utilize to hand out copies of my works. If you're upset that itch.io won't carry my work anymore, please message them. That would actually help me. Let them know you are displeased with their decision.
The only place where I can make available my work is Discord and Patreon. I know this upsets you. Trust me, nobody is more upset than me. I am hemorrhaging money now. I'm drowning in expenses that my income from itch.io used to cover. And you're not making this very difficult situation any easier on me. You feel like you lost a couple dollars. I've lost thousands of dollars a month.
All I'm asking is that you manage your way over to Discord, which costs nothing, and I can get you a copy of all my works. I'm not trying to burn you here, but this is the society we live in. I'm an outcast, I'm a degenerate, nobody wants to work with me. So if you enjoy my work, help me push back against the forces that would have me destroyed and stop making things even more difficult for me.

How about what another dev did, give us an email address to send proof of purchase then give us a download address to download it, google or whatever?! Even add a code to open up the zip file? There are ways. Other devs have done it. All you are saying is: "because of Itch, I want more of your money, so why would I find another way to help you?"
