I keep forgetting to announce this, so I'll just post this now before I tell myself to do it tomorrow early and just forget about it for another month.

Until July (when the listings expire), I'm testing out Etsy again after many, many years. Magical girl stuff seems to be doing well on there, even OC stuff.

Everything I have on there is digital copies of my comics, because I am not in the best of circumstances to send out physical copies. Only ones not on there are my fanbooks because Etsy won't let me sell free stuff, and E: A 24 Hour Comic just wouldn't cooperate with Etsy's upload system. Here is the shop link:

As I say in the description, these are heavily compressed versions. So contact me at naan @ jadinerhinestudios DOT com if you'd want to switch for the actual PDF in its nice, original form!

Ooooor just head on over to my Payhip, Itchio and/or Booth store where you can download the free stuff AND buy better-looking PDFs!

Yeah, aside from #GOG being probably the most prominent #DRMfree #videogame store, there's #itch.io (#itchio), which I think is mostly DRM-free. The only #DRM I've seen on itch has been devs selling #Steam keys (usually alongside but sometimes without standalone installers/archives).

Other stores include: #HumbleStore and #GamersGate, where DRM-free products are clearly marked as such. GamersGate is less likely but can be worth the extra click to check if you're already looking up a game on IsThereAnyDeal.

There's also #DLsite (for mostly Japanese games), which from my experience seems to be DRM-free unless otherwise indicated, though products with DRM on DLsite are a lot more common than on itch. (Also be aware that some products have English and Japanese versions or Windows and Mac versions sold separately.)

For #VisualNovels, #JAST (a.k.a. #JASTUSA) and #MangaGamer (NSFW warning for these sites, as you might expect) are both DRM-free.

Sometimes you can find publishers that offer DRM-free stuff on their own web stores. #FruitbatFactory does, for example. (I think Sekai Project and NekoNyanSoft also do but I've never used them before.)

As I understand, #BOOTH.pm (#BoothPM), #FireFlowerGames, #GameJolt and #ZOOMPlatform (the game store, not to be confused with the videoconferencing thing) also sell games DRM-free, but I've never yet used them.

FYI some of these aren't on IsThereAnyDeal (which already seems to have enough trouble sorting the large numbers of itch and Steam games). But there aren't that many to check. The biggest store that's missing is DLsite, I think?

(Sadly, the #Desura and #Playism game stores no longer exist.)
