Reminds me of when I was younger and creating games in whatever tools I could get my hands on. Made some hover-mouse maze games in PowerPoint

I do miss actionscript in FlashMX, where you could click on an entity you just drew and insert entity specific code, independent from the main script, which was at tied to a specific global frame.

It sounds horrendous now that I type it out, but ah it was such a free and chaotic way to program

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Somehow you don't see these complaints when people just straight up have you download an .exe of their video game.

Actually, we see similar concerns in Game Jams. Many people actually avoid downloading .exe files and often complain if there isn’t a web version available on itch.io

I don't know much about it but perhaps https://itch.io/docs/itch/using/sandbox.html would be an option for them? It's an end user option in the itch.io app.
