Wanting to also note that I only set my profit share that zero last year if I recall or the year before either way due to the option being their, joblessness, and being here from the start bringing years of revenue in when Itch was better (before so much garbage got uploaded). I've had my games featured in LA art shows mentioning to grab them on Itch urls. As in even attempting to bring a sense of legitimacy in the past instead of private hosting or with the gallery infrastructure such as VOLUME Los Angeles, etc.


Like, why present the option to an account then also punish that account, especially one that Has previously given the original 5% or whatever it was since the founding years and during times when it probably meant more for this website to exist as well as when more people had the means + desire to drop Way over $20 on an art game to support All Of This. 


But instead, we are at the amazon ebay aliexpress of videogames and assets for shovelware 

Agreeing here as an extremely colorblind person doing colorblind art.

I get like no traffic to my Itch account, Itch is full of ai generated garbage and violent porn, full companies publish games on itch, there's so many reasons many people literally can't afford to split revenue with itch at this point because they are taking donations in a dying market while also not being promoted or communicated with by itch.

As was first brought up, anything "free" on itch is an advertisement for itch, just as tweets are part of you being a product in social media.


I can host elsewhere for free vs itch but I was here at the literal Beginning of this website when I believed in it and didn't see my only revenue come from Donation Bundles in a time where I am out of graphic design work as shovelware populates itch io.

I've lost hope though. The website is nearly no longer for the people. and they arent losing money from zero profit share slider. 

they would not have put it in A) and B) they are partnered with Epic Games among others C) people will always chip in. 

it would have been nicer to just take it away and require a mandatory 1% or 3% or whatever like the website Initially Was Set Up. I would have Dealt and Accepted but if the option is there and most of my work is free + I am also running an org that accepts donations, then this becomes ridiculous.

Communication is Key but it seems like this website is on its way out like Steam and all else who decided to just let the floodgates open up to ai slop, porn games, and various other "fangame" garbage.
