Thanks for the suggestion. Tags are optional, and many people skip them, so it might make more sense to ask the developer if their game contains any DRM outright. In any case, in the meantime I added a "drm-free" suggested tag.

Hello,

to follow up on this, currently 209 out of 166 181 games on itch are tagged as DRM-free.... https://itch.io/games/tag-drm-free

I don't know how putting games onto itch works, but clearly the current system isn't working as hoped :/

How about a "view files" kinda like Google does with google drive & github, there is no need to have a thumbnail just basic viewing can help understand the customer if the game really is DRM-free since all files should be easy to view.

That wouldn't really help, DRM is in the code. And even if the devs were willing to upload the source code (they're probably not), who's gonna spend months reading a game's source code to find this out ;)
