Play in Browser Should Allow Downloading

I really don't see why you can't allow users to download the play in browser file. I had to upload a second file just so users could download and play that. It's very frustrating, especially when the option to donate doesn't even come up unless a downloadable file is present. I'd like the "Play in Browser" option to not exclude the other options for the file, so it can still be downloaded.

Most users don’t know the steps necessary to run the .html file that is required for the “play in browser” game from a folder on their computer. It may be necessary to run a webserver and provide the correct headers/serve correct files/have correct permissions. If you want to inform your players to play the browser game offline then we recommend pointing users to our app, which will allow them to download the web game archive and run it inside the itchio app.
