Hi, I just sent 2 £ to a game creator as I enjoyed what he did for a game jam (that's https://benjames171.itch.io/incinerator) and that was the 3rd or 4th time I played it since its release. In fact I wasn't sure I didn't already send him some money for that game before, but as the page told nothing, I figured I didn't. Only to discover that the new payment didn't appear neither. I know that's only money you freely send, contrary to paid games where you can clearly see whether you own it or not, but I wish there was a way to tell whether I've already paid for a "free" game or not. How much was paid would be nice, otherwise just a "You already own this game" or something like this would do. Or maybe I missed that info somewhere?

Assuming the purchase is linked to your account, I believe you should see a banner on the top of the game page informing you that you paid money for the page.

Alternatively, you can check on this page: https://itch.io/my-purchases/donations

That's strange, I think there's a pb somewhere. I can see in this other free game page https://freds72.itch.io/poom the banner "You own this game / Purchased for $10.00 3 years ago". But no banner or anything in the page above (https://benjames171.itch.io/incinerator) about the 2£ I recently gave (and which have been debited) or any other previous payment I may have done (though again not 100% sure I did). I don't know if the pb comes from the way the page itself has been edited, or if this is because Incinerator is a game jam game, while Poom is a released game. But more worrying is that my https://itch.io/my-purchases/donations page shows absolutely nothing, besides an uncanny "You haven't donated to any projects" message. I suppose it should show something even for 3 years old payments, plus I'm almost sure there might be a few other free games to which I donated (not absolutely sure there neither but I usually give a few bucks for games I enjoyed). In case you'd rather continue outside of this forum to fix this, feel free to contact me.
