Users easily miss "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" #2986

I currently have a free published game on itch and I had probably 10% of players tell me they thought they had to pay leading them not to download it at all. I'd suggest adding a $0.00 button? Or a free button where the $1.00 button is?

This repository is about the desktop app. When there's a free game or a game you own the app allows you to install with a big red button 😃 (without having to answer the payment request).

For the web version I agree, in case you allow the option to be paid (e.g. allow to be paid in contrast to free as in free beer) it's a little bit too "greyed out" for me as well. image

Please take the issue to the itch community: https://itch.io/board/580406/ideas-feedback and close this one.
