Viewing post in developer red flags/ game red flags
a good example of it being actively exploited is:
https://itch.io/b/636/the-big-lewd-spooky-bundle
19.99 tier
https://holodexxx.itch.io/holodexxx-home
which was moved to:
“I’m sorry?!” What happened in that case exactly?
I’m asking because right now it looks to me as if…
- a developer added four of their games to a collaborative bundle,
- removed one of said games from a higher tier because they thought their cut for that tier wasn’t monetarily viable enough after the first numbers were in
- chose to do so by removing their game in question from itch.io entirely - thus changing the value proposition without letting anyone know
- and then immediately re-uploaded the same game under a different url, so they could still rake in some money.
Just to be clear: Innocent until proven guilty. But right now Holodexxx about their version looks pretty guilty… I’d love to hear their side of the story to maybe get a clearer picture of what’s going on…
Momoiro Software, who hosts the bundle, might also have some things to say about this…
If only there was a way to contact them via a dedicated private messaging system on itch.io. (Because I’m not registering to twitter just for this BS…)
