Here's a link to the official rules for "Show HN"'s: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
You can also contact the mods directly if you have a question that's not answered.
- offtop5 6y agoLooks like forcing users to sign up for an account is frowned upon. This is something Steam definitely does, so I'll release a version on Itch.io which doesn't require a sign up.
- ThrowawayR2 6y agoThis is just my impression but forcing users to sign up for an account would be a problem only if it was directly owned and managed by your product and you were the possessor of the account data. Accounts for a third party, particularly for something ubiquitous like Steam, would probably not run afoul of this rule.
- offtop5 6y agoIn that case I'll go ahead and email the mods to ask. Thanks for the response, I hope to target PC and Mac early next year
