    Hi everyone, I am launching a online game/app store in July. It is mainly inspired by itch.io and Steam, any suggestions or feature requests? After reading this http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/i-have-a-question-about-http-itch-io.310705/, I am interested in some feedback on how to create a better online store. Thanks in advance!

    P.S.The URL for my soon-to-launched store is immortalin.com, bookmark it if you are interested! You can contact me at <myusername> at outlook.com.

    I think the most important thing for a game store is to make it organized and relevant to the user

    Do you mind giving some examples? E.g. Curated content, higher bar for entry etc.?

    No, I think the most important thing is to provide good categorization and well-made search capabilities.

    Well I agree with darkhog that it should have good catergorization and tailor what shows up based on the users preferances, so if the user has downloaded lots of action games, show games similar to that so the user can possibly find more action games. The UI should just be simple and easy to use as well.

    For you the important thing is a point of difference. What makes your store better than steam?
