okay, does that mean a "marketplace" carries the ruleset of a publisher and not a platform? if asking this question resolves the post, i will happily admit i was answered. whenever a company operates under an unclear legal type, it's hard to judge boundaries without directly asking like this
also if that is the case, would it be rude to suggest that spelling that out clearer to others, might be a workable idea? IE "itch.io is a marketplace and operates as a publisher" instead of saying some grey area?
