Edit: It gets even worse, this person has been publishing a bunch of AI generated accounts and games to push low quality pages.

Yes we had some reliability issues the other week but they are resolved now.

All your other claims are unsubstantiated. Additionally it appears your post is an ad for your own site.

The discussion you’re trying to create doesn’t seem constructive and it feels like your post is AI generated. I’m going to close this thread.

There is no hope so take action and make stuff that is the kind of good stuff, but the real good stuff... Not for the purpose of spreading hate or mistrust or lust or to make money or dimes or to present bad attitude that confuse and freak out people... Mock the ideal of mankind...

But I do it! So, we space out for aspiring, we make eco-oriented kind of games, we choose war scenery that is inspiring to use war as a tool to advance, not as a weapon, but... Dialogue can turn against you. Right? Is this the dark gloomy future of this website? We as individuals choose to do so, as the other people won't accept if they enjoy staying foolish.

But, you do enjoy yourself yet, Right? I chose to play Linux Tetravex, but there is nothing like these prude simulators of doin' it with a gurl! Right?

So, the question is if the fool enjoy to live as a fool, probably yes, if ignorance is a bliss, but someone have to clean after your dog, as if you step on the p*** you lose a 700Nis worth of a pair of shoes... It is that you need more quality essence of content like Terra-Nil or cute charity oriented kind of stuff like Cozy Caravan, that inspires you do take action and do good to others, teaching you all the good stuff and kind action you can do in real life in a society that accept kindness in a peaceful time where everyone can relax, share and eat... No real villains, no slaughter of animals, you use vegetarian products like eggs from a natural cage free coops, it's a hen house, and the hens can nest outside in the heating sun, you can choose to use honey without exploiting nature, and I think that I even seen a free-farm milk that can later be upgraded to a recipe of baking tarts and cakes... Each time I do enough charitable work, the reward is the gratitude felt by other town folks in presence... Your compassion grows, so the reward is use the tokens to expend your charitable skills and abilities, either it is a beautiful suit to make people enjoy looking at your pleasant form, while doing good to others or just spending it on building a better furnace or an oven... No bad intention, you can mostly do good, spending entire long days thinking of how can I improve... When I want to spend my practice of being a cow for your milk, I found reality of Israeli city like "Ramat Gun" is more close to a wolf-pit or a canine eat canine den, and people do not realize you try to support them with a charitable gift... Each for his own... You cannot give a chocolate bar to children often, as you are considered a stranger even if you buy a vegan bar and by leaving 5Nis in a soda machine, it will often be spent on energy drinks and no real good enjoyable juice, it can also being ejected, so someone who see the machine has the change is just pulling the 5Nis worth of a coin trough the slide to use it for a pack of smoking... Then, if you provide someone juice or a drink in a battle, sometimes it is no more than a commodity you can sell to get usual pleasures like an energy drink or cigarettes.... You give a smoker something and he goes with a reciept to a store, replacing it with other stuff for the exotic juice you kindly bought to... Search deep enough, and you find the humble meek and kind at heart people who do need your help... Clean enough cars and some people will see you in a need if they ever need your help with an arm-chair... That is why a bleak of a bad dark future for itch.io...

We should celebrate doing gestures for the joy of doing good, making other people happy with the result, entertain for the sake of causing a pleasureful experience, and give part of our earning to a charitable cause... To feed these in need, though they might be arrogant and ungrateful after you feed them, no one deserve to suffer... I just hate arrogancy and inacceptence of gracious act... I though enjoy helping them again if they fall, lifting tem up as their emotional tone match a response that desrve compassion or sympathy...

All my games were mostly failing doing so I guess, and they were a nitpick to work on, but the Hello-Kitty one that is a maze after maze based on an early 90's Famicom game was a blast... People download it because it is kitty, and it is a good quality result, and I give it for free as it is a fan-made product as a gesture to Sanrio and the such... How is it when you make a game out of compassion to please others, but it is swolen up by hundred of other low quality products? Then it is a river an artifact you feel is so, is lost trough stream...
 

That is so.

Sorry, Wrong post, But I hope it inspires. Really, I am considered by psychiatry as Autistic Psychopath, so therefore, if my response is unrelated to your message you are free to remove the scriptures .

My personal opinion, but everything you say doesn't apply to Itch.

In all these years, what I've seen is that leafo has no intention of turning Itch into a business, like ours with gog or Steam.
If it really was the intention to turn Itch into a business, then there are many things he would have to change, not just the ones you mention.

From what I understand, Itch was born out of a Jam, so people could share their games, and since then, I'd say the most important part of Itch is precisely being a meeting place for that type of content.

In recent years, it's gained a lot of popularity, and many people have come to sell their indie games and expect Itch to work the same way Steam or gog do, when in reality, I'd say they're very different places.

Steam and GoG are stores, operate as businesses, and sell a service. Therefore, the cost is also high: a 30% percentage in the case of Steam, plus a $100 fee per game, and you must meet several requirements.

GameJolt is very restrictive.

GoG only publishes what they consider compatible with their platform and that will generate a certain profit, meaning you can't publish with them if they don't like your product.

Itch has several flaws, but it's still by far the friendliest place to upload an indie game.

It allows you to host your page and your game 100% free, without ads, and with minimal knowledge. You can set up your payment system or let Itch collect the fees and handle all the tax bureaucracy. In return, it only suggests that you share 10% of your earnings (which many people lower to 0%).

The only alternative is to create your own page, but that comes at a cost. You have to pay for hosting and have website creation skills or pay someone who does. Then, you'd still have to do your own marketing if you wanted people to reach your page and game. The only advantage is that you have complete control over your site, but that only works if you have the knowledge to take advantage of it, something the vast majority of people selling their games on Itch don't have.

I highly doubt Itch will disappear. What could happen is that niches like NSFW games would be forced to migrate to another platform (as far as I know, there's no real alternative to Itch as a platform for selling NSFW games). That would significantly reduce the volume of interactions on the site, which is bad on one hand, but also, with fewer people, the staff would have more time to provide support. So, eventually, a new equilibrium point would be reached.

I'll clarify again that this is my personal view, but I've never seen Itch behave like a business that sells services to developers, but rather, I've always seen it more as a meeting point for independent developers.
