fake itch.io endorsement

Hello mods, Our own game library site (outside itch) has been abused to promote a game chokeful of IAgen. We investigated this and discovered the game author boasts multiple fake endorsements, such as our own site, but also BGG and itch.io. Nothing big, but clearly a bad behavior. You may want to see for yourself? https://sylkaen.com/#presse

I think they messed up the section. The links are to their itch.io profile, not general itch. It was supposed to show their socials.

It's false / misleading advertising. Presenting the logos of websites as if they would endorse the product, when in reality they are just the places where there are additional hosting places or socials. They would have to use find us here or similar.

If they use your things without being allowed to, you can report the account to Itch. But this forum is not the place to do that. You need to contact support and or file a report on the respective Itch page.

The only mods reading here are forum mods. They moderate the forum.

Thank you for your kind help. I couldn’t find support for things other than my games, am no longer on Discord to contact Leafo or NoTimeToPlay, and am off-grid in the wild for a couple of weeks. I’ll try a more accurate contact when I’m back.
