Removing the ability for creators to upload compressed archives is a huge mistake.
Creators have been asking for ages to add the ability to organize files more effectively and instead you remove the one type of file everyone uses.
No buyer has ever complained about getting a zip file.
How, prey tell, am I going to keep track of versioning with a bunch of loose files? Upload the folder and then rename it to match the version number? What about a previous version, unzip the archive with the version number and then upload it and then delete the copy afterwards?
If this was about knowing the contents, how about you add the contents summary field that gumroad has instead.
If this was about trying to save file storage/bandwidth, how about you look into creating a tool like itchio’s Butler instead.
At the very least make your site able to parse the contents of a zip or something, there is no way I’m gonna uncompress the files and then delete them afterwards every time I wanna update something on jinxxy because every other storefront takes a zip.
Wait till you find out that a unitypackage is a kind of compressed archive 😱
