Eniko Foxdamn. valve is at the mercy of industry players that dwarf them to such an extent they just have to deal with whatever they're being charged for access to the market?
that sounds rough. can't imagine what that's like
anyway check out our gay fox girl platforming game: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails
you can get it on steam, but weirdly i get a lot more money if you get it on itch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sophie of Ratsnake Games@eniko (it's because itch doesn't invest money in moderating their platform, having customer support, or making sure their software works
and if you reply to this to argue that i cannot criticize itch's complete lack of functional customer support because Steam is also shit about removing hate, i'm gonna block ya. two companies can suck at once.)
0x0961h@ratsnakegames @eniko Hmm, last time I checked Steam Community was full of bigoted and racist comments and twitter warriors making sure they piss off solo devs with their sealioning about stupid things for the cheap clout. Steam itself is drowning in ai slop and asset flips, what kind of moderation are we talking about?
@0x0961h @eniko I have personally filed hate speech reports on both platforms. itch.io flat out ignores them. Steam acts on them at least occasionally, albeit inconsistently.
Steam at least has a refund policy in case you get settled with some AI shit. itch.io does not. itch.io also does not react to fraudulent misclassification of AI slop as human-made.
I have published on itch and i have no interest in ignoring their inability to run a company because "but Steam bad".
Binks@0x0961h @ratsnakegames @eniko "Drowing in ai slot and asset flips" where? I've seen like, 2 asset flip games, and steam was one of the first to require ai usage reporting. It really feels like some of you are living in a different reality with the way you talk about Steam. I get that the 30% cut is annoying, but acting like the platform isn't the best option gamers have right now from a purely content and moderation stance is very strange...
@Binks @ratsnakegames @eniko Did you even check the next fest lmao. 90% of it was ai crap. Open your eyes.
@0x0961h @ratsnakegames @eniko ...You have some weird settings. I checked the Next Fest. Tried out a half dozen good games, wishlisted 3. Didn't see a single AI game in my list at all.
