I feel like itch might be a bit too democratic for some people, if that makes sense. Every time I look at it it seems to be complete anarchy lol.

Not that that's a bad thing either, there's definitely space for a store that's just the wild west. But it probably takes a lot of effort to dig up the gems there.

Anarchy is a good description, yeah, discovering things on itchio is not easy, and I usually only come by external recommendations to specific projects

Thats bcz most games on itch come from short game jams. There's literally no barrier to entry on itch, beyond, don't upload a virus or spammy program unrelated to gaming. I would be sad if there was. Indie devs need a place to hone their skills, and get their games out there without too much hassle or financial barriers.
