A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No memes please.

I got it for free from that game store everyone hates for all the right reasons.

Is this gameimage tool some kind of archiver/packer? Seems interesting

Indeed it creates an flatimage, a file containing a base linux install and a runner of your choice. Wine staging for instance (Emulators also). You can add programs and or games to the package. Creating a one click solution to run software/game(s) without the need of aditional configuration afterwards like with lutris.

Works on all distros
