Well the app is still broken on my machine. Maybe it's worth investing in a slightly more reliable update mechanism rather than trying to roll your own?

Err, except it stopped working again.
I ran tech-setup as suggested, and it updated and the app launched. I quit it, then tried to re-launch it again, and again, nothing actually happens. Looking into it, ~/.itch/itch-setup has literally become a zero-length file:
mjog@blanchefort:~$ ls -l ~/.itch/itch-setup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mjog mjog 0 Oct 10 18:12 /home/mjog/.itch/itch-setup

I just downloaded the itch app installer, ran it and it seemed to work fine, but the app itself won't start. No window appears launching it from gnome-shell, and nothing happens launching it from the command line. This is what I get in a terminal
mjog@blanchefort:~$ ~/.itch/itch
