Overview
- Digiphile goes live with a partner‑first model that allocates a fixed 75% of each sale to publishers and 5% to charity, with DLC revenue going entirely to partners minus processing fees.
- The platform launches as a Steam‑key storefront with a subreddit presence, bootstrapped without external investment and planning future community features.
- Founders reject recommendation algorithms in favor of human‑selected, limited‑time collections intended to spur actual play and discussion rather than passive purchasing.
- Headline activity is capped at no more than two collections at a time to concentrate attention and improve discoverability for smaller titles.
- The inaugural Return of the Immersive Sim collection supports the Arbor Day Foundation and features titles including System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster, Perepiteia, Shadows of Doubt, and CTRL ALT EGO, with YouTuber 2 Headed Hero as guest curator.
