Check out the discounted game bundles if you’d like something a little more curated. There are zero games to be had from major publishers, but anyone who appreciates a browse through a diverse collection of ideas should give it a try.

Though most of the games offered on the site and download client are free (thanks to a mobile-style open submission policy), developers can add a price to their games, and many popular independent developers now use Itch.io as a primary distribution platform. In addition to straight sales on the web and periodic bundles, some of which come with Steam keys, a $12 monthly subscription option gives away selected titles that are then the player’s to download at any time. 5% of the price of all purchases go to children’s video game charity Child’s Play, with an option for another 5% going to charity or refunded to the player. There’s a definite focus on indie and small publisher games in Humble’s library, but there are offerings from bigger players like Square-Enix and 2K. Humble Storeīetter known for its periodic DRM-free “pay what you want” game bundles, Humble now offers a more traditional online storefront as well. Though Direct2Drive often discounts individual games or large sets in a promotion, it does not offer a loyalty program. Most of the titles on the store still offer direct downloads through the web interface, though the company also sells major games with DRM activation exclusively on Steam, Origin, Uplay, et cetera. The core idea remains the same as it ever was: pay for games and download them right away. Direct2Driveĭirec2Drive is actually the ancestor of IGN’s old game store, now gobbled up by a holding company and run as an independent business. This limits the total selection in some ways (and there are no Steam keys to be had, even when the older games are available on Steam’s store), but the prices for older games are extremely competitive. Though GOG has expanded into newer high-profile and indie games as of late, the service and its Galaxy download client are 100% DRM-free. GOG is short for “Good Old Games,” and as expected, it specializes in a large catalog of older games that can sometimes be hard to find on other services. GOG is a digital distribution hub made by the people at CD Projekt, the developers of the well-regarded Witcher series.

OnePlay offers a VIP subscription for $10 a month that grants open access to a large library of older and indie games on PC and Android. In addition, OnePlay has a unique advantage over most of the other stores on this list: a selection of its PC games can be “rented.” That is to say, the games can be downloaded after a small rental payment and played for 30 days. The selection is rather limited at the moment, but the rental system allows players to run the games without an always-on Internet connection and on up to two machines.

Though OnePlay offers a web store interface and download keys for all the major PC publishers, it also has a dedicated Windows client that offers direct downloads through the company’s peer-to-peer system. Blue Coins can then be used in place of real money for any digital purchase on the site.

Customers earn digital credit in the form of coins for every purchase, plus small bonuses for participating in the GamersGate community, like posting game reviews or answering help topics. Though its selection isn’t as broad as some competitors-later games from Blizzard, Activision, Square-Enix, and EA are no-shows-its unique “Blue Coin” system is worth investigating. GamersGate (not to be confused with the GamerGate movement) is a digital distribution service that offers a mixture of straight game keys and direct downloads for DRM-free titles. GMG complies with the various DRM anti-piracy schemes issued by Valve, Blizzard, EA, and other major publishers, and doesn’t use a dedicated download client. The store offers standard retail pricing on most titles, with extra discounts for “VIP” customers who use the EXP loyalty program (but that just means you make a permanent account on the service). Probably the best-known among the indie Steam alternatives, Green Man Gaming offers a totally web-based store that sells digital keys for Steam, Origin, Uplay,, and just about everything else.
