Hi,

I posted my first game a month ago, and I've found the comments section to be a pretty useful source of feedback, but I've noticed a lot of devs choose to not allow comments under their games. Do you allow comments? Why or why not?

I do allow comments. If I didn't want to hear back from my audience, I'd be working through a publisher. Besides, the comment section is a good way to meet new like-minded people, and see what they're working on. So, a win all around.

Of course, enabling comments does make you responsible for moderation, but that's normal. I imagine not everyone has the time, though.

That's a good point. Moderation was the only thing a came up with too.

Most people I know who comment on my stuff do so through social media and not the forums. Comments only are important to me for game jams.

When I look at games I like to read the comments. So I'll leave them on for my games for the same reason.
And I find the comments people leave are usually quite positive.

I do yes. Not that all feedback is as constructive as I want it to be but oh well.. Getting comments on one of my projects is a sign that someone took the time to take a look at it (even if the look was a small one) and that is somehow satisfying. It tells me it got people's attention and that is a good thing to start with.
