hey there!
suggestions:
- add the option to hide the download-buttons on the website (we don't want the users to download our app without the itch.io-app, instead we use our own links)
- allow users to use the launcher without an account (works only on free games)
- add an app store link for the mac store
- maybe add app store links for the itch-links (one for windows, one for mac, one for linux,...) or do it the other way around: make app store links look like the download buttons
reasoning:
we have an interactive experience which our customers download and install. i really like the itch.io-app but we've got feedback that it's too hard to install. users basically want a button for windows which installs the launcher and opens the game-page in the launcher.
the app-links are also really distracting. the user sees a windows logo and lands in the windows store even though we want them to use the itch.io-app (windows has just more power then windows universal and the mac app store is just terrible to update the app).
you can see our workaround here: https://raumgleiter.itch.io/archviewe (the windows-version even uses a instruction page instead of the store: http://app.raumgleiter.com/R0012_AR_App/Download/windows.html)
