It would be nice if the "Friends, Chats, and Parties" feature was added, as this would make itch.io not just a community for publishing games, playing them, and some simple chats ๐ŸŽฎ,

- This feature might make itch.io the best indie gaming platform ever โœ…๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป, and of course "opinions differ on this"

- This feature would also make itch.io a strong and fierce competitor to Xbox App โ€ผ๏ธโšก๐ŸŽฎ

- It might also help game developers build an audience or friendships within itch.io ๐Ÿ‘‹โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโœ…, and not just, a developer who responds to comments or posts like a bot ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿง ,

- Honestly, I understand that this feature might be difficult to add, as this requires some changes to the itch.io servers ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ปโšก

I like the idea, and it would definitely add value to the site!

However, I believe this was mentioned before. from what I remember the response was that Itch was not going to do that because itโ€™s a lot of resources and effort to moderate. There is the Discord Server which offers similar functionality.

I completely agree with your response ๐Ÿ˜, I previously mentioned that this feature is difficult to implement because it requires modification to itch.io servers, and this is difficult and requires additional resources such as electricity and cooling water for the servers and requires a lot of dollars ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿง ,

Thank you for your response "Respect this" โœ…๐ŸฆŠ

I like the idea of this also, the discord sever is ok, but so much extra itch specific features could be added to this idea!

Very nice comment like you, thank you
