Yeah, just spelling it out here: Valve is a multi-billion-dollar corporate run storefront that skims 30% off the entire PC games industry.

Itch is a handful of people running a scrappy indie games n' smut store on literal donations. They *recommend* giving 10% to support them, but don't demand it.
I think there’s also a misunderstanding of itch as some big corporate platform like Steam or the App Store and not just like a website a few people have built and kept together for a decade so people can share their weird art.

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.
I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).

We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.

This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.
