After the (more or less) demise of Desura, this might be a new easy way to have an open-source application linked to an easy to use store front:
https://itch.io/app
https://github.com/itchio/itch
Thoughts?

Arthur {l Wrote}:Sounds like they have more of an audience than I realized. The Humble Store is apparently quite popular with indies as well, but I'm not sure if their submit process is a pain or not.
Julius {l Wrote}:True, but itch.io seems relatively popular and their easy to set-up game pages as well as the "pay what you want" modality could be quite suitable for FOSS games mainly looking for an easy way to attract a more constant flow of 'donations'.
charlie {l Wrote}:I gave up on itch.io when I got sick of seeing giant penis' in the games list and their response was that they don't wish to filter or limit creativity.
Maybe not, but I'm not going to promote something I don't want my children to see.
