They could dramatically simplify by having the backplate pre-assembled (grill, thermal plate, button base), but I guess if your target audience is modding enthusiasts, it makes sense to not do that. Increases support/refund requests, though.

It seems like there is a larger story there regarding itch.io. Is it an isolated dispute, or a more prevalent problem?

There is a 10-15 release that quickly followed, but the changelog is rather uninformative:

Roblox who don't care about Linux support at all while pretending that they are "testing" it.Eh? Last I heard, they explicitly check for, and BLOCK, Wine. In other words, they went out of their way to make it NOT work. Is there something else happening now? (Not that I care personally, but it seems to be popular with kids)
