It's a shame what happened to you. The problem is that some developers have no scruples or respect for anyone but themselves.
I am answering you, because this forum is public and it is maybe anyone from the staff will see it and answer you here. The best thing would be for you to contact support directly and make a report, that way it is easier for the staff to become aware of the case and take action than by posting here.
OP downloaded a fake game that was quarantined in the meantime. That is why it's gone. It looks like a hacked account of a hobby dev that has some regular fan games on it and some fake games uploaded by the hacker.
This is not about any dev lacking respect. It is a plain malware scam. Itch is a honey pot and their scanners and hacking detection might just as well not exist at all. Or how many hacked accounts are acceptable? Because I see about ten per week without trying. Sometimes more.
Anyways, you do not need discord for the things described in the warnings about the try my game on discord scam. You need only upload it on Itch and wait.
