“I love all the quirky stuff on this site”

I love all the quirky stuff on this site. Also the fact that most games are DRM free. The only downside is that tax is added to the final price (whereas Steam adds it to the default) so if a dev is having a sale and adds the same discount (e.g. 15%) to both Steam and Itch, the game ends up more expensive on Itch.

Great site for finding smaller indie games, I have published a few games on here and participate in the game jams on this site.

Here's my opinion on itch.io. Stay tuned.

I've been on this website for 1 year only, which means this review might or might not be biased, right?

Well, let me tell you about my experience.

Itch.io is great. It's like Steam, but for more than games. You can post books, soundtracks, and software-related stuff. I really like this website, and the fact that you can block people for being annoying. Obviously, if you block someone, you are turning off the notifications for that person so you wouldn't hear from that person. Basically you are muting someone so you wouldn't have to hear them again.

Now for the bad stuff. I really don't like the admins and the fact that there are downvotes on the site. What are downvotes? They are basically dislikes for comments. I hate downvotes because the comment gets pushed down a little every downvote you get. So if I say something critical about the game or thing, and people downvote me, then other people wouldn't find out the negatives or positives of the game/thing. I HATE IT A LOT.

This review is short but explains a lot. I hope you understand what my point is.
