Hi everyone! How are you? I saw that there are a lot of games being launched in itch.io. Every Minute. With this you game just disappear in the middle of ocean. So it's really possible for all make money in itchi.io or just for a few with look ( and high quality game of course)?

Only a few games (with good looks and high quality) ever make money anywhere. It's still worth releasing them, because otherwise they can't make any money at all. And Itch helps games make money. For one thing, by making it easy to buy, and to tip the creators, but also by making it easier for more games to show up in searches and get notice. Not just those that are already famous.

Itch isn’t a platform that markets your game for you. That has always been the job of the developer or his marketing team.

many games got popular in itch.io, Desktop Goose, Gacha club, little witch nobeta, The Baby In Yellow and yes Doki Doki Literature Club was on itch.io before it had a steam release.

So it is possible to have a popular game, you do need to work at it like anything in game dev.
