    Should also be noted that it’s basically impossible to get into gog as a small indie dev

    It is essentially a “don’t call us, we call you” situation

      You get Itch.io for that.

      This isn’t a know against small devs, but I do get it a bit becsuse there is a LOT of questionable nonsense on the indie dev circuit. Like, I have played a lot of them too. But Steam is kind of bad with letting too much garbage in and frankly, I stopped using Steam as much over the years for it.

      This was the case a decade ago, but it’s absolutely not the case anymore. If the “Becoming a DIK” creator can do it, anyone can do it.

        Nope, still is.

        Source: a friend has a couple (not-slop) games , and if you reach out to them, they basically tell you that they will contact you, if they want you in their store

        I mean, Becoming a DIK is kind of a complete game though. Steam has some stuff that feels like someone stuck stickman art in a GODOT tutorial and called it good.
