Ah, that explains my misconception. I opted to check itch as my primary source and no, I don't comb the comment section regularly, so it's easy for info to get buried under general "hey, great game, love it" comments. As for other sources, appreachiated, but I strictly stay away from social cancer apps like insta, tiktok, X (formerly known as twatter) and so on so forth.
Thanks for explaining.
