Early days for it, but I think having our own dedicated list makes a lot of sense. Yes I'm aware there's others.
Building it has been just a little side-project, but I will also be adding the status into the newer game embed I also announced recently that we have at the bottom of articles too. That way whenever someone reads an article about a game, the current status will be shown too!
Once a game is added to the list, it mostly ticks over by itself with little to no work, since a game status will very rarely change. So once done, it won't really add much extra for me to do, so overall I think it will be a net positive for GOL to have.
Features currently implemented (it's a heavy work in progress):
- Click table headers to sort.
- Can feature multiple anti cheats for each game.
- Instant searching in the text box.
- Can click an anti-cheat name to go to a dedicated list for that vendor.
- Clicking the game name goes to our little page about the game, with more info, and a list of articles we've written about it (if any and correctly tagged...).
Already planned:
- User comments for each game (IN PROGRESS - Uses the Forum!)
- A specific icon / status if the game is supported by the developer.
- Some sort of statistics to show you at a glance the percentages of what works / doesn't work.
- A button to report a change in status.
- Game submissions.
- Ability to show if single-player still works (like GTA V).
What I want from you for now:
- What website features do you consider essential for it to be useful? (that it doesn't already have).
What I don't want yet:
- Suggestions for games to add, I'll be gradually building it up myself while adding features until I'm ready for that from you peeps. I won't be announcing it anywhere else but here until that stage either. Please don't suggest games in the replies, I'll delete any that do.

There are games that have native support. The list is not clear whether the thumbs up applies to native only or both native and proton.
Unless you want to do everything yourself, a form to add an entry so you only have to approve it might be good. This could be combined with reporting changes.
There may be occasions where something needs more clarification (could be the native vs. proton thing), so a comment field could be helpful. You could display it as an icon when hovering over it shows the comment.
Thing kind of thing is only useful if it's kept up to date. There's no way to see how old the information is. Something that could help here is to have a checkmark/cross option for user to mark if this matches their experience. This could provide a last verified date. Curating this will be a bit tricky though.
Yeah, some form of suggestions system will be added.Yeah, I'll probably just have a row below each game appear if there are any comments we add.One thing I could do is a comments system for each game. Wouldn't be particularly difficult to do either.

Maybe a double thumbs up?
