Else you would know that 7 days is nothing and that support will not answer such requests and if they do, that it will be more than 4 days.

This is the first time I've encountered this in a year on this platform. I've read all the questions on this topic, and if everything was fine, I wouldn't have written this post here. Regarding support: you can write about indexing after one day, but I wrote after four. But you know, that's not fair lol. Go to your recent games now and you'll see garbage that's practically unformatted, yet it's indexed. How is that even possible? I had the same problem with Football Championship; the page wasn't very well formatted, but it was indexed right away

You also did not read the community message board rules.

Let's read the rules: "If you still need to create a topic about it, then please write in your post that you've read the docs and you still have a question, otherwise we'll close your topic."

Well, I have questions and grievances, which is why I wrote this long post (by the standards of other posts on this topic)

That costs money

Look, I don't care that it costs money. I'm a user of this platform, and as a user, I shouldn't care; I need to focus on my business. You can see this concern on the screens right now. Besides, treating this system well just because "it costs money" is stupid. I don't like it, and I've described its shortcomings here. My main complaint is: why does ICH immediately publish garbage without providing any information? No, let's put it this way: why is this garbage here? Even the information about this system states: "Indexing is generally available to all developers, assuming your account is in good standing and you aren’t abusing or creating low-quality pages" From this sentence, I understand that indexing is necessary for virus scanning and finding high-quality projects. In the post, you can see examples of pages without low quality

Things like malware, ddos attacks, pay out issues are a bit more important.

I agree with you on this, it is actually very important, but......

Itch does not see it is a priority to advertise games. Your page is fully operational. Itch believes developers should do their own promotion. For that you do not need to be indexed. Indexing is low priority.

Then explain why recommendations are even necessary if, in your opinion, they have no impact? Itch.io isn't just a place where you upload and forget about it; it's a platform similar to Steam. If it weren't, there wouldn't be developer blogs (there would only be updates, for example), no "recent games" or "new and popular" tabs (why? The developer needs to promote the game!), and no tags (just pages for games that have been published). All the factors (in a different sense) I've described allow Itch users to find something new outside of Steam, and all sorts of YouTubers can find new content there. Itch is an alternative to Steam for those who don't want to pay $100 or simply can't. You know, I'd accept this argument if we were talking about GameJolt, another competitor. There are practically no recommendations there; I've never had more than 20 views there. And GameJolt itself isn't very popular, as it has less opportunity to connect with its audience. I'd like to add that Itch has a CTR metric that directly impacts the platform, which is odd for a platform that "Itch does not see it is a priority to advertise games.." So, Itch shouldn't advertise my game, I'm not asking for that, I'm asking for my game to be visible to platform users among all the garbage from "recent games."

I read about the FAQ, but missed the part about the week. My apologies for forgetting about it. Regarding "how to help move your game ahead in the queue" I did that, but as far as I understand, I wasn't exaggerating. Since I have practically nothing, I can't really promote the page. As for the criteria: why are you immediately publishing games with no information about them? I understand that you can't disclose it, but lol, why does my page or game look worse than a page with one screenshot and no description? As for support: maybe four days isn't that long, but I felt uneasy when, after a long development period, my game got no views or downloads. I read about indexing and waited this week. It said: "If your game is released after one day, you can contact support". I don't remember where it says that, but if I find it, I'll add it to the post. Overall, I have no major complaints about support.
