Do we need a standalone Libre/OpenSource Game-Store/Hub ??? (similar to Athenaeum)

where we simply aggregate all the FOSS games in one place along with their mods & links to their assets (Plus methods to fund those libre-gamedevs)

Technically itch.io is afaik FOSS, but it doesn't cater to open-source games exclusively.

The Libregaming.org community has brainstormed quite extensively about what you propose and some of it is summarized here: https://libregaming.org/reports/game-launcher-concept/ (partially outdated by now)

Personally I think a fork of the Heroic Games launcher could be a good base for such a game store.
