itch.io

I clarified the phrasing. But I did not change my opinion. It is happening very often. It is only very rare for established games. As I did point out in my original post, with practically the same qualifier you used. "Removal of an established game is rather rare." So I am rather agitated about your accusation of spreading "misinformation".

I agree in hindsight that "very often" is the wrong type of answer to a question of "how common". It is more suited to a question about absolute numbers, and "how common" can be understood to ask for a percentage or chance. 

Having a large number of unpublished pages does not warrant a “Very Often” response for how often pages are “removed”. 

No, it does not, It would be a fallacy, because unpublished pages are not the same as removed pages. And while English is not my native language, I am quite sure, that this is not what I argued. I do try to avoid fallacies. 

Other people’s threads are not the place to express any biases or grievances you may personally have against the platform

You accuse me of having grievance against Itch and also of misusing a thread to express that grievance. This ... gives me grievance. 

Where you see grievances and or biases into my post, I do wonder. I really do.

I shall summarize and translate my post into pseudo language. The way I see it. I am sorry that you saw it different :'-(

(High absolute number, as answer to topic question)(Data uncertain)(Observeable factual data about how much projects there are compared to how much we can still see is 3:1)(Incomplete list of explanations)(Also no knowlege who made a project invisible or why)

(Context shift from all projects to established games. Claim that it is rare, but higher as on Steam)(High profile example)

(Shift to use case of OP. Practical short term solution)(Pointing out a different problem OP might not have thought of)

(Elaboration on that different problem)

(Suggestion to contact developer)
