Goodbye itch.io

Hey everyone, I’m removing the option to purchase the Rhythm Any Music game on itch.io due to the platform’s complete lack of professionalism and failure to pay developers in a timely manner — myself included.

This kind of treatment towards creators is unacceptable.

From now on, this game will be available exclusively on Steam, where developers are treated with respect and receive proper support.

Thank you to everyone who supported me here — I truly appreciate it. See you on Steam!

No, you won't see me on Steam. I don't think charging developers $100 to list their game is treating anyone with respect.  It keeps the site exclusive to those with money and excludes more than half the world from ever publishing there.

On the other hand, allowing people to publish their games for free is awesome. I'm sorry you had a bad experience - but Itch.io does pay people, they're just careful because of the amount of fraud they have to deal with - and all the different countries and regulations. It's not as simple or easy as it looks.
