I find it really ridiculous that they made this change (and even more so without prior notice or notification) I don't know if it's a bug or what, but I think it's pretty bad on the part of the itch.io team that they don't even warn about this.Obviously, it's not something that is serious, but now it makes me wonder if it is worth paying 1% for the colors.
Viewing post in Why is my dashboard in greyscale?
Everything I offer is free, donations are few and far between. Itch is essentially an advertisement and distribution platform for my donation projects. At the same time, I’m driving traffic to itch from various platforms. Traffic is king in e-commerce - by driving traffic to their platform they are being supported. There are ways beside revenue share that they could convert that traffic into money.
Also, if that’s their goal, maybe they should try adding a message at the top of the dashboard or something. Just having everything grayscale is not intuitive and confusing as evidenced by this thread. A banner that tries to make customers feel morally inferior would probably work better than making the itch interface look like it has a bug.
