Thanks for the response and the offer, I'll just get it on Steam then since its more convenient.
Out of curiosity is there a reason you'd advise against Itch? I always assumed they were the most developer friendly being and Indie platform but I also have never developed or distributed a game in my life so there's plenty I don't know
Itch is a mixed bag. There's good and bad - as far as developer friendly I'd have to give the nod to steam. Even though itch takes a smaller cut of the profits than steam, it doesn't provide nearly as much.

All of that said the real reason I advise against itch is because it's the most expensive option. Using USD prices (since prices are regional), outside of sales Steam is $10 (with a sale going on currently), Itch is $12, and patreon is $10. This is mostly because itch comes with additional logistics that make it less worthwhile to sell there, hence the higher tag.
