Hi, thanks for your comment.
I put it up now because it was asked for on my discord. It was a request that popped up now and again, so I was already motivated to do it at some point.
There is a 10% cut to itch.io. I think that's fair for the hosting, though I understand that in this era there are many reasons to be careful where support is given. I encourage players to factor this into their decisions.
Thanks for the article - I find it very humbling that people write so kindly about my work.
