HunchBluntley: Actually, on itch, you have to follow a dev/pub to get posts from them in your account's feed; I would imagine this might also determine whether or not a given itch user gets notified of such things via e-mail. EDIT: Obviously, a user's e-mail notification settings in their account will also be important. :P
binteon: Do you have confirmation that it was only sent to followers? All the news articles said it was sent to owners, and the reddit post linked below said users had to add the game manually to the collection:
No, I've just noticed that with all normal developer/game news updates on itch -- normally even with regard to stuff in your library -- that's how it generally works. I would certainly hope that devs would send it out to
anyone who bought/owns it, as these devs seem to have intended in this case, but it seems to really be up to the dev (or publisher, in the cases where there is one). l was just offering a possible explanation as to why some users didn't get this particular notice.
Of course, it could just be that it got sent to some people's spam/junk folder (or, as I said, they don't realize that their account settings preclude them from getting sent such mail). : ]
