man what???

I assume netflix is making them do this for some ungodly reason, but jeez, awful. miserable.

Only just realized: the reason I own Oxenfree on itch is because it was in the Bundle for Racial Equality from 2020. Is this Netflix realizing thousands of people got it for very little and wanting to pull it down from there for all the people who haven't played it yet?

Edit: Looking it up, it seems like it was only released on itch in the first place to be in the bundle. So it's almost certainly something Netflix sees as a minor sales channel, not something they feel obligated to keep.

I doubt it's that machiavellian or that this level of thought has gone into it; it's probably purely about making sure it's only on platforms that Netflix controls – except someone in the basket case hollywood freak chain of command might have realized that taking a game off Steam is bad PR

A lot of Itch devs have done this. I've had several items from my charity bundles there pulled or outright deleted when the dev just quit or left Itch.

That's my single problem with the platform: That they won't stop a developer from completely wiping a game.

FYI for people in general: If you bought the bundle it was in, but it's not showing up in your game list, then you have to go to your bundle purchase page, look for the game there, and click on it so it's actually added to your account, and only then will you able to download the DRM free version.

I only figured this out because the product page - https://night-school-studio.itch.io/oxenfree - shows an error if you don't own the game already. Once I did the above, the page worked.

The Itch version of the game hasn't been updated since 2020, so I'm not sure if it's received any bugfixes in other platforms.

Yeah it's bonkers. I tried searching itch itself for it but nothing came up for me in the results. The Google search I did on my phone pulled it up over halfway down the results page, but 404'd on click.

Yeah, that's very likely. I wonder if the public anger about some devs' Epic Games Store exclusivity periods has actually registered at a higher level and taking a game off Steam is seen as being a PR risk now.

At any rate it looks like it was only added to itch in the first place so it could be in the bundle, and I'm assuming it's made essentially zero non-bundle sales since, so they see it as a marginal platform they can easily delist.
