How does itch get money then?
just looked it up, apparently the devs can set the percentage that goes to itch.io themselves.10% is the standard, but it can be lowered to 0.
but it can be lowered to 0.
oddly satisfying
Itch is where am the cool kids hang
Does it work on steam deck/ linux?
I think it depends on the game. Sorry I'm not too sure!
Now if only they'd support Linux with their client.
FYI, not exactlyu the same, but I've been using Heroic game launcher to play Linux. If you're like me, you probably thought only steam games or linux native games would work on Linux, but I've been playing Kotor 2 on Ubuntu with the heroic launcher, mods included.
Oh I know about Heroic, and Lutris as well, so I know I can play my GOG games on my SteamDeck, but their Galaxy client also has things like achievements, leaderboards and easy online play.
Totally understand, definitely something I would like as well.
Also Lutris!
whats does Lutris offer? I'm not very familiar with it.
It also connects to major accounts, but it really excels at adding games that aren't part of the Gog, Steam or Epic catalogues, imo.
For random .exes or a game that was downloaded off the Net randomly. Lutris will automatically set up a Bottles container, install everything, & add it to the library.
They do support Heroic, though.
Or does Heroic support them? :)
I like the fact that the meme used a european grandma instead of the american rapper.

Didn't know that he was from Canada. My bad.
no i was being serious; he may be from canada but he sure doesn't act it
same continent
american pedo
I love gog.com, but I still support Steam and Valve. They are probably the only corporation I still have faith in. In my opinion, they have been generous, consistent and willing to improve from the beginning, despite occasional hiccups.
Wake me up when they have first party Linux app and something akin to Steam Family 2.0. It's so good, my brother just bought Space Marine 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 and I don't have to buy it again when I want to play it.
They do have DRM
