While platforms are up to the devs, the platforms the game is on allow it to be DRM free, so you won't be tracked. You also don't need a launcher for this game! Just download from itch on to your computer!


If you still need it to be listed on your steam launcher for one reason or another, on steam you can select "add non-steam games to my library" and launch from steam!

Good point. However, like many others, I myself don't like using 5+ different stores for my games. Nowadays, everything tracks you no matter how hard you try to get around it.

I currently only have Steam installed and am keeping it like that. Downloading from itch.io gives the advantage that there is no launcher, but the disadvantage of not having auto-updates.

Also, having a different launcher for every game is the most annoying thing ever. Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games, the Star Citizen launcher, Origin, Steam, Rockstar Games, Itch.io, Paradox Games... we could probably go on like this for hours.

And at the end of the day, many more people use Steam (or Epic) as their launcher and would also find the game more easily on that. P.S. to the devs, this isn't to hate; I'm just hoping that the game will someday come to Steam so me and a prob a lot of other people will buy it.

And the Devs say that the reasons on why they don't put it on Steam is because of the % Cut as well as the refund policy for some reason.

But they also don't seem to be interested in getting lots of money and recognition so.. again we go back on a loop! There is literally, no matter how much arguments are made, any reasons as to why the game isn't on Steam yet.

The devs don't want to. That's "literally" the only argument/reason that matters.

You've really got things backwards... itch.io /does not require a launcher/. You don't need to download some other thing to connect your game. If you use 'add non steam game' from your library, it will behave exactly like a steam game... except that you won't lose it if you lose access to your account, you can play it offline indefinitely, or even put it on a usb drive to play it on any computer you wish. There is no DRM, be free and enjoy your game lol

the itch desktop app has update alerts. Makes it very easy to stay updated on all your games. Not saying anything past that it's your choice but there's a lot of cool games on itch that made downloading the desktop app for me well worth it. And then some
