If many people access your game, it will get scrutinized sooner. Or so the theory goes.
Since there is malware on Itch, a lot of it, this kinda makes sense.
There are also hacked accounts, so they might delist and scrutinze a game again, after it was updated.
I have seen Itch take two months to take down a reported malware. They are very slow these days. Several issues coming together I assume.
