Among Us developers get revenue from mobile players watching ads, which is doable only on mobile. They would get almost no revenue if they made the game free on PC.
This is just straight up stupid, this very exact game is free on mobile and not in not in PC's(including Steam and Itch). At this point no one's going to play this anyway because the apple store or in play store, this game is free.
The mobile version makes money through ads and the sale of your data while the PC version doesn't and makes money through paid downloads, it's simple game monetization. I mean, if you made Among Us which has had 15,000,000+ downloads wouldn't you want to make some money off your game's success?
The paid version is not premium in any way, it's the exact same thing on Android and iOS. But, if you like privacy and have money to spend go with the PC version a.k.a the paid version but if you're not concerned about your privacy online, don't care about ads and on a budget then go with the mobile version, the one for Android and iOS.

Steam networking exists to make online games easier, itch io networking dosent exist i think, also how would both these games on itch io and steam connect to the same server? idk how to connect 2 seperate versions to 1 server.
You’re conflating matchmaking and networking. Matchmaking is what saves you from having to type your friend’s IP address into your game to connect to them and helps to reduce the number of situations where you need to manually forward ports. Steam provides matchmaking, not the game server itself.
I don’t know about now, but, historically, any game with a “host game” button had built in support for acting as the game server, because a game server is just a copy of the game that the other players connect to, which acts as the central source of truth when the different PCs disagree on something.
I'd be nice if blocking and reporting actually did anything.
I reported and blocked three people for literally talking about trading illegal pr0n, still see them playing every couple days, still saying nasty stuff to underage players.
Still seeing the same troll players too, calling meetings just to waste time all day every day.

It's annoying, I know. I had to settle for the demo and you know those things are never the complete game.

why is does the computer version cost money when the mobile is for free
Read my comment above:
I don’t know what the paid version is. Maybe it’s a premiun version of Among Us? Or it’s only to pay for the developer? I won’t buy the paid version.
The paid version is not premium in any way, it's the exact same thing on Android and iOS. But, if you like privacy and have money to spend go with the PC version a.k.a the paid version but if you're not concerned about your privacy online, don't care about ads and on a budget then go with the mobile version, the one for Android and iOS.

Ok so how does this work like that you can play online? Idk if its possiable to make an online game and put it on itch io, or maybe im stupid
hi
Why wouldn’t it work? Online gaming only requires that a game be able to open network connections to other games.
Developers were implementing network play entirely on their own long before services like Steam existed.
Steam networking exists to make online games easier, itch io networking dosent exist i think, also how would both these games on itch io and steam connect to the same server? idk how to connect 2 seperate versions to 1 server.
