Well, Jast doesn't seem to be against the idea, at least.

That's why it needs to be a joint project with Jast/Fakku/MG/SP. Alone they don't pull much weight, but together it's possible to hack together a barebones client and work their way up from there.

What I imagine a priority order would be:
1. What >>19051928 says, ability buy and keep games in one place. Should be able to check game files integrity and re-download any if there's any corruption. Hell, I could code that shit myself in C or Go easily.
2. Support/Tag system/User report function.
3. Multi-platform (Linux/Mac, maybe Android)
4. DRM. While MG and Jast are OK with selling games with no DRM, other game devs. wouldn't be too pleased with that, and prefer their game to be protected. Anyways, simple internet-based DRM isn't too hard to program either.
Also a sales commission (5-10%) to maintain the platform, of course.

Garbage like friends, forum and whatnot could come later once it picks up steam.
