Comment on Drop OSS - an open-source, self-hosted alternative to platforms like Steam and Epic.

I love the idea behind this but for me this is overkill. It be enough for an external HDD where I can just plug in.
What would be more wow factor for me would be a community hosted solution that’s lets you upload games and let anyone download them. But I realize that’s just piracy really.

Yeah, some people don’t even bother with Plex or Jellyfin. It’s not for everyone. It’s for people that like to hoard their stuff long-term, and access their stuff from anywhere, anytime.

Off topic but I fucking love Jellyfin. I have one setup for me and my friends with a web domain attached and it’s awesome

If I can run this as a local host and just pull in data on my machine this could be worth it. So long as the UI is to my taste. Otherwise I’ll stick with play date or galaxy

The thing is… if this thing is any good, eventually someone will develop a plugin for Playnite and other launchers so that they can pull in games just like they do with commercial stores. This project is really interesting.
