Valve blocks indie games store Itch.io app from Steam

Itch.io, the distribution platform aimed at indie and experimental games, has been refused from launching its app on Steam.

The PC platform previously opened a page on Steam’s Greenlight service, aiming to drum up support for its unique mix of more obscure titles to come to the marketplace in addition to its existing website and desktop client.

Unfortunately, that ambitious aim came crashing to a halt after Itch.io’s Steam app was yanked from the service after just 12 days.
