This is kind of an odd question to post on a website that's neither Steam or GoG. Are you asking why game platforms outside of Steam aren't as popular? Or just GoG specifically? If you're asking about GoG specifically you could post that question on the GoG website and you'd likely get more relevant answers

It looks great! I just noticed a eensy teensy error. There appears to be a miscolored pixel next to the mouth in the front-right-facing 3/4 sprite that makes their mouth look longer than it should (compare to the front-left-facing 3/4 sprite)
Overall, I love your style and the colors work great together
It sounds like you are an artist for the project, correct? Are you credited somewhere in the project? You should be able to still list the project on your CV even if you arent in control of the page on itch.io, I dont think most employeers would really care about that.
Yes, what that guy did sucks, but it doesnt look like its against itch.io's TOS and I cant see how it would effect your career in the long run. That said, you could always talk to a lawyer to see if you have a case here. I'm not familiar with Polish copyright law, so I have no idea if a situation like yours would be handled more seriously than it would in the states
The anti virus is flagging it as a potential virus because not enough users have run it. This is a very common issue for indie game devs and most users know to just run the software anyway.
If you're worried that this warning will deter users from playing your game, you can always make your games to run in-browser.
Could you provide more information? For example
- What is the scope of the project? I.e. How big will the game be and how long do you expect to be working on it?
- What genre is the project? Will it be 18+ (some artists feel uncomfortable being associated with adult content)?
- What style of art are you looking for? Will it be pixel art? Anime? Realistic?
A new user has been spamming in the forums and I don't want to be notified when he posts. I've blocked him, but I still receive the notification because I'm subscribed to the forum. Is there any way to not see notifications when a specific user posts? Or will I need to unsubscribe from the entire forum?
I took a look at your comment history and I don't see anything that would reasonably offend a developer. Most of your comments are just pointing out errors that the average dev would be happy to know about so they can fix them. Either the devs who deleted their games need thicker skin, or the deletions are unrelated to your comments
I sell art asset packs here on itch.io and occasionally I'll get comments letting me know that a game dev has used my art in their project. I try to play these games whenever I have the chance and I love seeing the art I've worked so hard on being used by such creative developers.
If possible, I'd like to play as many games as I can that have used my art (and maybe feature the games on my YouTube channel) but I'm not sure how best to reach out to devs. Any recommendations?
