yeah you bring up some good points. it's definitely a nebulous area. honestly i do find the steam key metadata interesting. one problem with it is that not all games released on steam and sold on itch provide a steam key on purchase.

itch.io Community » General » General Discussion · Created a new topic discovering mainstream games on itch.io
while using itch.io more recently i've felt like i want a way to browse what mainstream/more popular games are available (in addition to those popular/recommended on itch.io). whenever i'm interested in a game that i've heard about i can always check to see if it's available on itch.io , but that only goes so far. the popular tab when browsing games doesn't necessarily reflect the overall popularity of the game outside of itch.io because some games while more popular don't actually get many sales on itch.io.
i decided to start to build a collection of games that i know are popular outside of itch.io. i hope this list can be helpful for other folks browsing for the next game to get on itch.io.
