KiNgBrAdLeY7: Why should steam monopolize "Free to Play games", exactly, come again?!??!!?

muntdefems: It shoudn't, and it doesn't. If the devs want their game available somewhere else so badly, they can always put it on itch.io, where there's no evil curation system going on...
And no audience to speak of -_-

KiNgBrAdLeY7: It is being reported that even though the makers of Serena, the same people behind the masterpiece called "Scratches: Director's Cut" (which was being sold here until some time ago, too), tried to convince GOG to release Serena here for FREE, ***GOG REFUSED***! Why is that? This item is on the community wishlist, too! Also, what exactly is the policy of GOG "Against free games being distributed here, with only a few certain exceptions"? Why should steam monopolize "Free to Play games", exactly, come again?!??!!?
I can't imagine there's any real incentive for GOG to distribute free games, unless they feel it's going to draw an audience from somewhere else. Just a guess.

Yes, itch.io is sadly a small fish in the videogames sea. But when compared to the big blue whale that's Steam, everyone else seems tiny, GOG included. :\

It's a shame too, because from what I've seen itch.io is actually filled with really interesting stuff. A lot of hobbiest devs use it to post experiments and pet projects, and most of the ones I've seen are genuinely cool (if you're into small experimental indie games). It's also a really nice site to distribute through. Apart from the whole "no audience" thing :P
