Love the old school steam inspired ui.

First game I noticed was deadlock which technically isn't even released yet. That's fine though. Deadlock is a game that is really good to play with a fixed group. So I'd say this site is good for even more than dead games.

Nice work!

Would love to see Steel Sentinels by FubOrb on here.

StarCraft 1 let you take your computer to anywhere and connect on the LAN with anyone, or even dial-up directly to your friend's phone number.

In StarCraft 2 Blizzard like every other corp wanted to see and control everything we do so you have to go all the way through the internet even if you sit right next to each other.

Even on the PS5 when I hand a visiting guest the throwaway DualSense I have to bump through a clunky UI of choosing a user or "Quick Play" and wait while it spins up a whole new Home Screen and other crap for them, and then warnings about DLC or whatever in Mortal Kombat etc., just to have a short 2 minute beat-em-up session.

Sigh

"Quick Match" and ranked queues destroyed multiplayer gaming for me.
