Microsoft rumors are Google Play store apps will be playable on a Normal Windows PC 2021 release.
Also allot of people play Android emulators games which you can directly start playing a game with Emulators like Enmu.
You’re android Launch box data really sucks and stuck on games that first premiered during the launch of Android. Either Sync Launchbox Server with Android or give us a Google Play Store scraping function.

Here is a ready to go API to scrape data from Google Play. Don’t forget the mobile game market is now overtaking games on PC, and console games. You can’t simply ignore this platform anymore!
https://pypi.org/project/play-scraper/

As a added suggestion just scrape Google play, then don’t make the data platform specif to just Android. Since IOS, Nintendo Switch, and Some window store apps have the same game in common.

    Change to duplicate as you brought this up before. Only one ticket needs to be opened for an item. You can continue to add to the original ticket as needed. It is unfortunate to hear you think things “suck” as mentioned in this and the duplicate ticket. The database is a user curated site and it is up to users and their free time to continue to grow the media and metadata. So it is the users currently determining what is getting added.

    I forgot that I complained about this before. Thanks for responding that it’s at least been read into and considered. That’s all I ask when it comes to placing ideals / suggestions.
