Tobias BernardLike seriously, who uses all of these?
ailepet@tbernard I keep thinking that at some point, we should consider splitting "Apps" and "Games" in their own listings, like the Google Play Store already does
@tbernard (and emulators would go into "Apps" obviously, a game should be something that is "playable" out of the box)
@hellpe I mean then you're not actually solving anything though, other than keeping the games category clean, are you?
@tbernard Indeed, it solves the "Games" category being cluttered with emulators, which are technically not games per se. However, we could face a situation where a lot, or even the majority of apps in Flathub turn out to be games, which gives us the opposite issue: Flathub being cluttered with "not apps". But I guess we're far away from that situation yet, contrary to the Play Store obviously.
@hellpe Well the problem is, these aren't even really games, they're super nerdy apps that are literally useless unless you know how to pirate retro games.
But yes, I agree that they're way too prominent on Flathub at the moment.
leimon@tbernard @hellpe Seems to me that there should just be a category for Emulation. Because their use isn't even exclusively for gaming. Flathub also hosts Bottles (see, https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.usebottles.bottles) Which is a really nice way to somewhat sandbox and use Windows applications under Linux.

@delight_aug @tbernard I did discover retro gaming through these (indeed super nerdy) apps myself, however I agree with Tobias that the way they're featured among all other games makes for a bad user experience on an app store such as Flathub.
(for those curious about these emulators, I can suggest you this historical perspective: https://www.vice.com/en/article/9a48z3/the-story-of-nesticle-the-ambitious-emulator-that-redefined-retro-gaming)
