I think there should be a wallet feature that allows you to directly use money you have from your game sales to purchase stuff on Itch.io.

I am 16, I have no credit card or bank account. So, no, I cannot send funds to either of these. I also develop games alone, and hope to someday purchase tools to help me make better ones.

I don't get why everyone's like "That's not important enough to add," etc, etc. This site is open to anyone above the age of 13. Didn't anyone think that the PayPal requirement might make it hard for developers who are too young to get a credit card to get new materials, many of which are right here on Itch?

Firecat said something like this might be incompatible with credit cards, PayPal, etcetera. Okay, how about having it as an optional alternative.

Please comment with opinions, ideas on other ways to do this, and anything I haven't thought about. And if any Itch staff read this, please  consider what I'm saying. I'd really consider it a boon if this could be added.

EDIT: Just looked up GameJolt, which uses a system similar to what I describe. Their system is exactly identical to the Itch payout system, except you can use funds to purchase stuff. The two systems are so similar that I'm not sure why Itch hasn't at least given it a try yet. And firecat also said it might be illegal. I've looked into VAT and other taxes. Gamejolt collects it in a very similar way to Itch, and no problems for them. If you see this, firecat, I want you to give me examples. I don't think there are any laws that would make this illegal.
