Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Tbf you can also get unlimited keys to sell and use elsewhere without issue. You're paying for the audience, convenience and trust.
No ones stopping you from posting to itch.io or handing out USBs, but Steam will always be preferred because of the user experience.
I finally checked out itch.io recently to look into steam alternatives and was disappointed to see that a lot of games there have "graduated" to steam and stop updating the itch.io version in favour of their steam version.
