There appears to be many modified games and idk if some games are stolen, is stealing even common here?
thank you very much, I feel free to post things here, my Unity classes will start next month so I'll likely post anything here in the end of this year or the start of the next.
Also the "name your price" system looks like good to combat piracy, it gives you the option to take it for free and the option to support the dev
There's a huge mix of stuff here. Students, like yourself, post projects that they work on in class. People participating in game jams usually come here to host their stuff, even for off-site jams. There are lazy devs, spoofs, and asset flips, but it's not really any worse than anywhere else. And don't worry about your game being stolen. People catch on quick in this community, and the people bold enough to steal end up blacklisted and fade out anyways. Itch.io is an open platform and therefore has all the pros and cons of an open platform, but if the question is "Do [I] recommend this site?", I absolutely do.
I like this site over others...because they give you good bandwidth for your HTML 5 games.
On another similar site...when I had 44 of my computer lab students load my game at the
same time...everything crashed. Same thing happened on a paid hosting site ($12 year)
When I tried the same 44 students test with my game on itch.io...everything ran fine.
