It’s also really hard to find things on itch if you don’t know what you’re looking for by name when you go. I can go to Steam and just browse the storefront and find things that’re relevant to my interests, but that’s almost impossible on itch. Partly it’s because there’s just so MUCH content that filtering it down to what I want to see is difficult, partly it’s because their filtering and search tools are absolutely trash tier, and partly it’s because they have zero discoverability built into their platform.
Itch.io has a lot of games too. 😊
That’s a different breed of game though. Itcho is indie dialed to 11. It can be difficult for a lot of people to get into the games there.
