I've been with steam since the start. I used to play the pirated version of half life 2 ( I bought it when it came out ). You could do lots of funny physics things with their new engine, it was just so cool. Anyway yea it's difficult to browse steam. Whenever I press back, it forgets where I was in the list..

Yeah, I've been with Steam since 2003. I'm not going to give up my 2 decades of games but I do love Itch's browse system and its very open and reasonable platform. As a developer, it even lets you set how much of a percentage you want to give itch, you can pick 0 (but I highly recommend 30% so they survive). On top of that, most itch games give Steam keys.
