I am curious to see if there are other digital distribution platforms similar to GOG which focus on DRM-free games.

Itch springs to mind, not neccesarily a focus on DRM-free games but there arent any that have it afaik.

Never heard of itch.io. I like how it has a collection of open source games. I have bookmarked it. Thanks.

They've also put together a few amazing mega bundles for charity over the years.

Not sure how to find them, though, since they aren't widely advertised. I've missed two that I'd have wanted.

Back on reddit there was r/gamedeals that would always post those, hopefully a similar community gets going here.

Itch is great, I'll second that recommendation. It also has some really indie stuff you can't find anywhere else. I think it's DRM free in the way GOG is, in that the platform doesn't support DRM. A good number of games are free, and some are open source as well.

Also it has tabletop RPGs!

@Ekis itch.io would be one. There's also Gamejolt if I'm not mistaken

Thank you. I have bookmarked Gamejolt.
