Why many of my products aren't visible on ITCH.IO, nether ?

Hello,

I don't know why my games don't appear in search. I have created three games, but none of them show up when I search for them. I can't even find them in the "most recent" section when I initially publish them.

Despite the fact that my first game has a unique name (assuming that the third game has a generic and non-distinctive name), and I made sure that I did not select any restrictions from the available options in the Public Access Settings, I still don't know the reason behind why my games are not appearing. Thanks in advance.".

This person had said what I am reporting here today. Unfortunately, no one answered him or the post was deleted.

ITCH.IO community blog draft:

- ITCH.IO visibility (creator) my products for sale (Ultimate version of "Bacci and the ducklings" and many others.

- as above, but global visibility (Google ?).

- report the 3 web addresses of Ultimate version of "Bacci and the ducklings" stolen

from me:

1. https://rawg.io/games/bacci-and-the-ducklings-v12-with-new-level-editor

2. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/ultimate-version-bacci-and-the-ducklings-32-bit-...

3. https://www.igromania.ru/game/131803/Bacci-and-the-Ducklings_v.1.2_(with_new_lev...

What do you mean, three games? You have dozens. But they're called things like "Five Games" or "Puzzle32". That will make them hard to find. Otherwise they're indexed and should appear in searches.

Of course you are right. But among the three addresses that I had to specify, despite having violated a very important rule of ITCH.IO (that is, not to publish external addresses), there is one (address) that is from a Russian hacker (do not click because it is very dangerous). He appropriated 'Ultimate version "Bacci and the ducklings" (32 Bit) v.2.1:'. I am sure of it. And it is the third link/address. I am very concerned about the security of our server. Sorry if I left only a synthetic draft.

That's a different question that I didn't get at first. If your games were pirated, you should contact the hosting provider of those sites where you found them.

I count 21 items. Some are marked as adult games, those will not show up when searching in a new private browser window. Or when adult content is not activated in someone's account.

Your game shows up just fine, in search and with tags. Even with all the clutter in the title, like ( " . Even the : ist part of the title.

And what is this nonsense about stolen game?

Did you google your game's name and saw those sites having information about your game and thought they "stole" your game? Seriously?

Also, please use the format options when writing a post.

Like when you quote someone, use the quote format option.

You are obviously right too and I thank you for focusing on my secondary problem in order of severity of my specified problems: discending order of severity of my problems; important for the visibility of my apps outside the US.

Thank you very much.

You misunderstood a lot of things, it seems to me.

Your games are indexed. Your games show up when searching them on the net.

And that one example game even shows up in external catalogues, where you mistakenly think it was appropriated.

that is from a Russian hacker (do not click because it is very dangerous). He appropriated 'Ultimate version "Bacci and the ducklings" (32 Bit) v.2.1:'. I am sure of it.

Why? Because you are wrong, that is why I am asking. All three of your links are game catalogues. Including the russian one. Your game exists, and therefore it will be listed in game catalogues that list published games. And those catalogue listings will appear in an internet search.
