Show HN: I created an open Product Hunt for games

I have been in the position plenty of times where I am trying to get my game out there and there just aren't a lot of places to do it. Product Hunt is great... but it's a little restricting and difficult if you don't have an in to post. So I created Game Hunt. The goal is to help with the exposure of a game to people who might not otherwise get exposure to it.

Here's the link http://gamehunt.co/

Any feedback would be great!

My only concern would be that everything currently links to steam and itch.io - sites which almost certainly offer better exposure than yours (no offense.)

So why, if I'm a developer and I already have a Steam or itch.io account, would I even need Game Hunt? What can your site do that they don't do better, either for a developer or a consumer? I feel like maybe you're trying to compete against the wrong services.

require gifs/images, link to youtube gameplay, company site. and maintain the simplicity you already have. reading the text and clicking a mystery link is daunting.

also your system of ranking should allow "anonymous" votes somehow. figure out a simple logic and implement it. strive to have 2 votes, one anonymous and registered. I hate registering, but if I felt like my anon vote counted, i might be inclined to remember this site more.
