if you’re a dev who wants to release a game without going through a big publisher like Activision or Bethesda or whatever…what are you going to do?

I write about it here on lemmy

Other than Steam and Itch.io, there aren’t many places to do that.

Why there aren’t many places to do that? How was it in the past? What changed? How you can improve that?

Does it suck? Yes. But the reality is that if we want to get our work out into the public, regardless of monetary concerns, we have to roll around in one mud puddle or another.

To me it sounds like the reality is that you are choosing visibility over doing what is good
