What features would you want in a decentralized gaming platform similar to Steam?
Hey everyone! I noticed that the discussions around the recently released self-hosted alternative to Steam and Origin, have been focused on its controversial name. Let's shift the conversation and talk about the features you would like to see or wouldn't care about in this software.

Essential
- DRM Free
- Cloud Saves
- Compatabilty info with current system.
Nice to Have
- Save migration, pulling save files from other game platforms for titles owned on both
- Mod integration. Would be great to have this built in instead of having to go out to nexus
- External links to official wiki's when applicable. The community guides are cool, but sometimes you just need that wiki.
drm free isn't really something you can guarantee unless you're fine with some games simply not being available on your platform. Some devs insist on it, and if you require drm free, they won't sell on your platform.
Personally, I prefer drm free, but if a platform only has it, and the game I want thus isn't there, I won't use it.
cloud saves is nice, but with decentralized solution that gets harder to do. who is "the cloud"?
