Glad you're enjoying the game.
I have contacted them, and thought that the issue had been resolved?
It resulted from my use of a VPN, which they see as people from different countries trying to access my itch account.

Recently some users have been commenting that when they pull up my game they're seeing this warning.
Because i'm accessing my Itch account using a VPN. The countries listed correspond exactly to the VPN locations I use. Never figured this would be an issue as Itch uses two factor authentication.
Could you remove this warning? I'm CERTAIN that it's causing both of us lost revenues, as NONE of the players that brought this to my attention bothered to read to the bottom of the page and find the "download anyways" option.
Seems a rather silly thing to do as we are both trying to make money by selling my game. I am a one man show. I create, compile and upload the game myself. On a clean system with no connection to the internet. None of my games contain any viruses or malware.
I respectfully request you remove the quarantine notice from my games as it is unnecessary and costs both of us money in lost revenues. In the future I can refrain from accessing my Itch account without disabling my VPN.
That's exactly what's happening.
It's not under investigation. As I often use a VPN Itch's security software has flagged it as "potentially suspicious".
Seems rather silly on their part as I have the two factor authentication enabled.
I've tried contacting them about about, but have received no response.
Just by looking at the list I'm sure that the message is caused by my using a VPN and has NOTHING to do with the actual files.
If it's freaking you out you can always grab it from our patreon page.
I have no idea why you're seeing it and other people are not. Or perhaps they are and just don't care? Or something in your pref settings on itch?
They do have two factor authentication and allow me to login to my account while using a VPN, and scan the files they're hosting for malware & viruses - so I'm going to go way out on a limb here and chalk it up to "an abundance of caution".
!??? Wtf?
I don't see that, at all. The game simply downloads as it's supposed to. I even tried hitting it using a VPN, without logging into my account AND using a different browser... and it worked just fine.
What's your country? Anyone else seeing this?
The Itch stats page for the game show that half the people that looked at the game yesterday downloaded it... which seems normal.
I've opened a ticket, and asked one of the Itch staff to check it out. Or at least give me answer as to why it's happening.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
