I was (partly because I'm away from a landline and suitable Windows machine, no point trying to get in at H Hour on D Day while I'm travelling/overnighting and with nothing to actually run the thing on) going to leave it a while before I decided to go for Steam (unlikely, bad historic experiences with them) or Itch (no experience at all, and not even a failed account with them). I'd be happy to support the long-tail, if it already has the big 'head' sorted by the rest of you roustabouts and everyone else who jumped on the wagon to strike that bit of earth...
But it also looks like I'm going to mostly stay off the forum until I get less than two out of every three page-requests go 500 (or worse) on me. I thought it'd be a little better today, but not notably so. And I doubt the overall forum admin has
time to attend to that (arrange for a reinforced set of virtual server resources, perhaps) 'cos he's got this other thing going on, right? (Also, there was a blip recorded on
https://downdetector.com/status/steam/ - but not sure what timezone that peak time of 11PM actually indicates.)
So once I get this posted (I'm guessing three tries to do so [backpaging to say
seven, so far, most being the browser saying the connection was entirely dropped], leaving a respectful time between each Resubmit Data [a good minute or so, don't want to mash it and be the main source of everone else's problems!]) I'm probably keeping away for most of the rest of the day.
