Their platform is really outdated. Can’t even edit or remove a game review without contacting support. It’s dumb. They’re losing precious time because of this
the store is a losing proposition right now from CDPR perspective. I am just happy to have a different place I can buy games that's not steam
Any competition is good :)
They'll need to put more effort into it. Make their APIs more open & maybe even fund Wine ?
Oh & DEFINITELY bring Galaxy 2.0 to linux, NATIVELY
Do you consider Itch.io to be a viable platform ??
I don't think it has cloud saving, easy wine/proton, API for achievements and shit... just overall unfit for "bigger games". It has similar functionality to GOG's offline downloads. I haven't really used it so can't say.
~~I probably won't try it if they also take a huge cut from sales like 30% or something~~ EDIT: They seem to let you choose whatever you want, and charge 10% by default (https://itch.io/docs/creators/payments#open-revenue-sharing). That's neat! However, payment method fees always apply. You can opt into them collecting the money through their account at seemingly no fee, and won't be exposed to chargebacks. That's incredible!
