Agreed I’d rather spend more time on itch. But from a dev perspective poki has a chance to monetise while itch monetisation is near zero at the moment.
When the original article is talking about escaping the tyranny of the app store it sounds to me like they don't want to share the loot box revenue with Apple/Google, like our chinese friends at Epic.
Unfortunately for them, there are still pay once real games. Some of the good indies are on itch.io indeed.
Stop calling lootbox dispensers "games" please. I prefer paying for a game in advance instead of being monetized.
