Their platform is really outdated. Can’t even edit or remove a game review without contacting support. It’s dumb. They’re losing precious time because of this
I don’t think it has cloud saving, easy wine/proton, API for achievements and shit… just overall unfit for “bigger games”. It has similar functionality to GOG’s offline downloads. I haven’t really used it so can’t say.
I probably won’t try it if they also take a huge cut from sales like 30% or somethingEDIT: They seem to let you choose whatever you want, and charge 10% by default (https://itch.io/docs/creators/payments#open-revenue-sharing). That’s neat! However, payment method fees always apply. You can opt into them collecting the money through their account at seemingly no fee, and won’t be exposed to chargebacks. That’s incredible!

Do you consider Itch.io to be a viable platform ??

That’s incredible!the store is a losing proposition right now from CDPR perspective. I am just happy to have a different place I can buy games that’s not steam
They’ll need to put more effort into it. Make their APIs more open & maybe even fund Wine ?
Oh & DEFINITELY bring Galaxy 2.0 to linux, NATIVELY
Any competition is good :)
