Because it's not working lol plus their description seems to indicate it would only work on Ubuntu. However, I'm completely new to Linux, and I'm not even sure how to install the itch.io launcher. Out of five or six games from my BLM bundle, I've only managed to get 2 running. I'm a little overwhelmed, to be honest.
Oh, I see. I'm guessing there might be some issues with your system then, if only a few of the games from the bundle worked. How are you trying to launch the games? From a file manager or the terminal? Do you get any error messages?
EDIT: I just tested it and it works fine for me. Downloaded the zip, extracted it locally in the file manager, and then just double-clicked on TonightWeRiot_Linux.x86_64 to launch the game.
The Itch client can be downloaded from: https://itch.io/app When you've done that, open your file manager, and double-click on itch-setup to install the client.
Nice to see people still replying to this. Well, this is what I've learned so far. The launcher does indeed help, but what I didn't know what that all I had to do was right click on the downloaded app and right click on it, find the permissions tab, and check something like "allow executing file as a program" or something like that. I was able to run the launcher, and it made it easier to download and install games. I don't even need the launcher now, but it's nice to have.
Anyway, I do agree with your point there. I love Linux now, but it's made for some frustrating moments here and there.
