I got an automated reply from itch within 2 minutes of sending the DMCA notice. Maybe this is getting somewhere now.

I received a Google Alert for my game, MiLE HiGH TAXi, showing that it had magically appeared on itch.io. Since I haven't published it here or even created an account (prior to just now), it's an obvious fake. Most likely it's either virus-filled, a trojan, crypto, or some malware for phishing.
Whereas my game takes about 1.4GB, the fake shows about 69MB. They've also used my name.
These are NOT me.
And this is NOT my game
I've been emailing itch's Support for weeks now without a peep back. Given the nature of it and that it's likely illegal software I would have thought they'd act quickly. What do I need to do to draw their attention to this?
Cheers!
