Entitled, because you're blatantly calling posts about a free product "false advertisement" while OP is not advertising games.

It's a MOCKUP, guy wont spend time to research the DRM Protection of every fucking game on Steam to provide you accurate thumbnails. Its a software for games and it showcases pictures of GAMES. He doesnt promote the games but his software.

You should definitely google the definition of the word "Mockup" before you continue being a retard in this forum. Have a nice day.

Dear god, i fucking hate smart-asses like you. I bet OP could use gay porn in those thumbnails too to satisfy you aswell, but maybe images of popular games fit better right?

It's not "false advertising", idiot.

Because OP does not sell those goddamn games and only wanted to show off his UI capabilities. In fact it looks like he doesn't even fucking sell anything, so what the hell should he advertise for?

Looks like OP's been passionately working on this project for his own purposes since almost two years, shared it for good will and probably doesn't give a singular fuck about you using it or not. Just take it or leave it.

The entitlement of some people...

It's not the same. You will have no idea how long you've played that game you can't browse, sort and share your games etc.

 

Arr guys,

Recently, I came across an app called GameVault on r/selfhosted and wanted to share it here. It's like a customized Steam-like platform for games stored on your seedbox or fileserver you can run yourself on your server.

You and your family can then use the Windows app to download them, track your playtime and so on. The idea is pretty neat and like Jellyfin/Kodi but for videogames.

The developers cannot officially promote piracy, so they have a scary disclaimer on their page, but the app works perfectly fine and everything is formulated "tounge in cheek"-ish.

Personally, I have about 25 "alternatively obtained" games on my seedbox-server by now, and it's working fine for me and my kids.

If you have basic Linux-server knowledge, setting it up is not difficult. For complete beginners, there's a guide on their website: https://gamevau.lt/docs/intro

Side note: I'm definitely not the dev, and my username is just an anagram for that by coincidence.
