That, or it's straight-up done with malevolent intent, for some unknown reason, because I genuinely can't fathom this decision-making. Counting online uses in combination with demo installs means that any game that makes enough money and puts out a web demo (which is a totally valid option on places like itch.io) will have to pay whenever anyone loads the demo. No potential for abuse here, especially since reloads and reinstalls will be counted as new installs.
