PS is also removing several of it's online access on multiple consoles. So uh, Reminder that if Steam ever decides to vanish and you lose access to any of my games, let me know so I can give you a permanent download. I'd rather lose all future sales than think of the alternative.

Is GOG a feasible option for indie devs? Always see stuff on either itch or steam before them.

Ive explored that! They just have a pretty abnormally strict process that filters the slop. But that in turn also has been intimidating for me to look deeper, because of my own self-conscience. I'm confident in my game, but if they rejected it, I think my confidence would... diminish a tad, lol.

Fair enough, may be why I don't see more indie devs go that route. Was always curious on that, thanks for the insight.

Actually, there may be a way to save games if bought on steam. Not sure if there is a way to do that, but it might be worth looking into as well!

Yeah, this is sometimes true. The Steam API Initialization process kinda forces it to be run through Steam to authenticate it's purchase (otherwise anyone could buy the game and take the files and just upload them for free for everyone else), but I know there is a way! I'mma do investigating. :D
