True or not, itch has always been categorized in my head as "the place you put your game if you can't get on steam/GOG", like having your website hosted on geocities instead of your own domain.
I don't know what could be done to change that stigma, maybe a "killer app" as someone else in the comments said, because as has been pointed out, everything else about the platform seems favorable.
- suby 8y agoI think that's a common perception of the site, but the barrier to entry on Steam nowadays is a 100 dollar fee. Nowadays if you want your game on Steam, you can get it on Steam.
- mysterydip 8y agoAgreed, and I think Steam's perception is eroding but still there. If a AAA dev released on itch, I think it would get instant elevation in status. But the way things are going, they're opening their own stores instead.
