Ship once. Reach browsers.
VNPlay is a discovery and presentation layer on top of itch and your own builds. We focus on trust, session quality, and rails that feel premium, not on turning the catalog into a banner farm.

How we think about money
Today the product is free to readers and free to list after approval. We are building optional commercial layers: labeled placements, partner rails, and in time revenue experiments that creators can opt into with clear terms. We will not merge paid ranking with organic lists without labeling.
Ranking here is from platform play data and catalog signals. Nothing in this row is paid placement unless a title carries its own Sponsored label.

Revenue share and unlocks (direction)
We are interested in models that help players support creators: optional browser unlocks, tipping, or revenue share on future paid layers, always with explicit opt-in. Nothing is live yet as a checkout.
When we ship payments, they will be obvious in UI, documented, and reversible for devs who only want free browser traffic.
