Is there a demonstration of this anywhere? I'd be hesitant to open a random Excel file.

    Looks like their “Baldur’s Gate” and “Fallout” games are practically identical, with similar overworld map and battle systems? https://storyteller-blog.com/2024/03/22/i-made-a-baldurs-gate-like-dnd-game-in-excel/ https://storyteller-blog.com/2024/03/22/i-made-a-baldurs-gat...

Somehow you don't see these complaints when people just straight up have you download an .exe of their video game.

  Actually, we see similar concerns in Game Jams. Many people actually avoid downloading .exe files and often complain if there isn’t a web version available on itch.io

    I don't know much about it but perhaps https://itch.io/docs/itch/using/sandbox.html https://itch.io/docs/itch/using/sandbox.html would be an option for them? It's an end user option in the itch.io app.

  I recognize it's irrational but I'm more afraid of excel files than executables in many ways

It's all good https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/dcc8833ec41be963078c932ea1c1db78d33a8fc47debaed344f9fe45d280aa26 https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/dcc8833ec41be963078c932e...

Agreed. Hesitant is the nicest way to put it. "How do I get people to run my MS Office macros virus? Oh yeah, tell them it's a game or something..." The Youtube video in a sibling comment helps though, giving a good idea of what it's about and how it looks. No need to download it to find out. :)
