Man, an AppImage? If I ever get it it'll be on Steam for sure.

Yeah. Super annoying...

AppImage: It solves the problem of too many dependencies by introducing more dependencies.

I hate that they're basically Windows-style free-for-all executable installers brought over to Linux as if that's a pleasant or safe user experience in any way. I've also had a few annoying experiences with programs packaged that way and I'd much rather just get a zipped version of the game executable and asset files. Works just fine for basically every Linux game I've downloaded from Itch.
