Should also be noted that it's basically impossible to get into gog as a small indie dev

It is essentially a "don't call us, we call you" situation

You get Itch.io for that.

This isn't a know against small devs, but I do get it a bit becsuse there is a LOT of questionable nonsense on the indie dev circuit. Like, I have played a lot of them too. But Steam is kind of bad with letting too much garbage in and frankly, I stopped using Steam as much over the years for it.

This was the case a decade ago, but it's absolutely not the case anymore. If the "Becoming a DIK" creator can do it, anyone can do it.

Nope, still is.

Source: a friend has a couple (not-slop) games , and if you reach out to them, they basically tell you that they will contact you, if they want you in their store

That's hilarious that there's basically an employee addicted to trash hentai games at GOG.

Probably reliable revenue.

I mean, Becoming a DIK is kind of a complete game though. Steam has some stuff that feels like someone stuck stickman art in a GODOT tutorial and called it good.
