Any game/app stores that you don't need a license that costs money for?

    Stores like the app store and steam that you don't need a license or submission fee to publish anything.

    While I strongly suspect this is an alternate account for @WalkingDead, I'll bite anyway.

    You get what you pay for. Paid publishing services are paid for a reason: they have large audiences/user base, it filters out the garbage, and it's a sustainable business model.

    I think the small fees to publish to places like the Google Play store are very much worth it, but there are other options.

    I think the Amazon App store doesn't require a fee.

    Sure. Kongregate and itch.io come to mind.

    Be aware that market saturation is more of a problem on stores with no entrance barrier.

    You know that would actually make sense.

    The evidence is strictly circumstantial, but as a Logician, I'm not allowed to believe in coincidences. :p

    I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to start off. But there are some eerie similarities.

    We can't see any evidence, please keep any suspicions within reports to avoid derailing threads, thanks.

    ...as a logician, you are not allowed to believe in personality tests.

    What is he? A spammer? If yes I'm sorry I'm like him but I'm new and I want to ask a million questions.

    He's just some dude that left a bit of impression on some people. And you are not him.
    So just keep asking questions...

    Just keep in mind that many of your questions, especially if they are anything like the ones you've already made, may receive a lot of LMGTFY links as often the answer could have been found with a quick Google search.
