itch.io

Ok I did that now. Hopefully something happens about this.

There's a user called Banksba who seems to be impersonating developers who aren't on itch. This is the latest one I've noticed but I've seen this before. https://itch.io/blog/739533/nine-sols

This is a blog post about Nine Sols, a game by Red Candle Games which is not sold on itch. The post is a copy paste of the steam page to appear like a legitimate official page and then offers a download link, hoping you won't scrutinize the fact that it's a blog post too much. This looks like a scam to get you to download malware. This is an issue because when you look up Nine Sols in search engines, this page comes up. I try to buy games on itch whenever I can because I believe developers should get the majority of the money I pay and steam takes too big of a cut, especially to indies. It's very frustrating to see an itch link for a game I'm looking for on a search engine and then realize it's a complete scam. You can see at the bottom in the "more posts" section that they've been doing it for a lot of games.

I would normally go through the normal reporting system but there is no report button on user profiles or blog posts. You can only report game pages. 

This is beautiful and cruel.

I loved this game so much! It's so rare for me to find a romance story that feels relatable and "real". Thank you for making this. I'll  be sure to check out your next project whatever it turns out to be! 

It also made me want to watch Honk Kong cinema. Are the movie titles mentioned in the story real movies? And do English subtitles exist for them?
