Comment on Update: Everyone said GameVault's UI was garbage, so we completely overhauled it.

What do I use this for? Do I install it on my NAS or my gaming pc?

My best guess is this is a self hosted network storage for games and other computers run the games from there? Or do they download the game from there? Is it a way to store game saves? Does it have any use for emulators like yuzu?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m only asking because the software looks really interesting but I just can’t figure out its uses.

Seems like the intro clears some things: gamevau.lt/docs/intro It looks like you install the server component on your NAS/server etc and store your game files/binaries/installers there. Then you can download client applications and download from that location to install on your gaming PC or whatever

  From a legal standpoint, the description (share DRM-free games with your friends) is also questionable as it’s currently worded. Copyright still applies to games that don’t use DRM. For OP, it might be a good idea to ask a lawyer to look this over and write a proper legal disclaimer, so they don’t end up being liable for copyright infringement.

    Users must also be aware of and comply with copyright laws in their respective jurisdictions. We encourage responsible and legal use of GameVault. Unlawful use is strictly improper and unauthorized.

    I thought you are legally allowed to share copyrighted/DRMed stuff with friends and family?

  Thanks for clearing this up. I definitely have no use for this. I wish I did, but alas.

I second all these questions.
