Desura actually did this with Steam games back in the day.

What he should do is look into including Enhanced Steam support, or at least check the various Steam tags, it'd be nice to filter games in more ways, like multiplayer or whatever.

I see it's pulling in the genres from Steam/GOG and you can filter by that, so that's semi-useful, I've wanted to sometimes categorize stuff. But that could still be expanded quite a bit, add trading cards, achievements, etc.

A feature that gives me back ten random games or something would be neat. I preferred that old website that let you do that versus all the ones now that only return you one random game.

By default it just scans your hard drives. If you do anything with any of the non-GOG games it runs the client before it does anything else.

Which means, yes, of course before uninstalling it I used it to run Rainbow Six: Siege which launched Steam which launched uPlay to launch the game. :lawd
