Direct access to LBDB for premium users

[klepp0906]

So i found myself in a situation today where I was looking for a specific asset to create some artwork for steam. Couldnt find what I was looking for and just before I settled - i came across a link showing it in the LBDB. Go figure.

Of course I attempted to obtain it directly and turned out its impossible. I dont want to have to import and scrape games over needing 1 asset.

I understand the desire to lock it down for the LB community, but would we possibly get the ability to either right click > save image or a download link added to images for people logged in through LB premium or something?

Of course this time i settled for importing the game but as you can imagine, this is a bit more cumbersome and while the LBDB could be a great resource for such things, it wont be without a means to access it.

just as an edit/to be clear. I do realize right click > save image as: is possible before actually opening the image at its original resolution, however when you attempt to obtain a 1700px logo and do it via the aforementioned means, the end result is a 400px image.

We’ve made no attempts to restrict full image downloads on the games database website. I guess maybe you’re referring to the fact that you can’t right-click save as in the image popups? That’s just because of the navigation on the popups. You can easily download the full-size images by middle clicking the thumbnails to open them in a new tab.

THAT is what I was referring to. Makes sense now and was not aware it could be circumvented by opening in a new tab. Apologies and thanks!
