I realize this probably goes with the territory of releasing a game for free, but in my inexperience I'm curious how much of a problem this has been for others.
I published my game to itch.io last night, and this morning I received an account verification request from sDown.eu, as well as an email from them letting me know that my game was approved and published.
Since I hadn't heard of that site, I checked it out, and there was a page with my game, email, and a link to my itch.io page. I sent them a message asking them to remove the game and account since I hadn't created it.
I 'm wondering how common is this with free games (I'm aware this is the internet, after all), and how do you all deal with it? I realize I don't expressly forbid or permit people uploading my game elsewhere, but what bugs me is doing it with my handle and email; it seems shady.
