Changing the executable target is a ridiculously simple thing to ask for. It's indefensible to not have the option, so your excuse does not fly with me especially since I have more things installed that came with a single installer executable than did not.

Allowing random people from the internet (The game devs in this case) to change the executable target that the Itch app executes, to be a file outside of the project (a file installed by the installer) is a massive security concern.

This is not implemented not because it is “hard” to implement.

I'm having a hard time thinking that you're being anything other than purposefully acting in bad faith here. Your comment is the biggest strawman I have ever heard. Is your name Armstrong? Because that was a huge stretch, friend. Nobody was talking about allowing anyone to change the executable path besides the end user. I just... I can't imagine you didn't understand that. I almost feel bad for explaining it to you as if you didn't get it because I'm sure you did and now I feel like I'm playing into whatever weird little game you're trying to play. I guess Steam and GOG Galaxy are both massive security threats because both of them allow end user customizable executable targets.

Not sure where the aggressiveness is coming from. As far as I’m aware, Steam does not allow installers.
