   Unfortunately its only a online shopping site for games and not really a site for game developers I am afraid.

   itch.io vs Game Jolt Comments

   Negative comment by philarchiverunlimited · May 24, 2025

   Unlike Game Jolt, you cannot create a community of your own there, no colorful fancy things you can customize like your game page or avatar for your projects. The stickers were annoying and I couldn't find any use for them so I am glad this site doesn't have stickers. Another major thing it lacks is private messaging with other developers! Why no such feature? My guess is their concern with privacy or to prevent harassment instead of allowing devs to reach out each other just to talk! :(

    Indie DB vs Game Jolt Comments

    Positive comment by Guest · Jun 6, 2018

    Lots of games, but most are paid and are just a link to steam

    Positive comment by Your Killer · Jan 1, 2020

    It has a sibling website called Moddb. The layout is almost the same. On both of these websites, you would find free games. If you're a developer, then you can distribute your games on both of these websites for free.
