I'm still thinking about it, but basically I'm trying to think of a system where you can transfer your games that you have on Steam, GOG, Itch, EGS, and so on, in a permissionless sense, to your DEGA account (normie wording for now =P / nostr keypairs). Like what GOG did, GOG Connect, but for all possible games from the start and user-side (so you wouldn't wait for DEGA to get permission from sellers on any store to then give you permission to do so), it'd be all on you to do. I already have an idea how to do it, or doing it as best as I can think of, and would move forward with it when it's time comes (most likely would have its own NIP/kind). Why? Many reasons, but mainly for alleviating the concerns of "what if my account got locked/frozen or deleted?" or "what if the comoany goes under and I lose everything?". Side note: It's good that DEGA is in this design phase / not actual development, while DEG Mods is being developed (which actually means that DEGA is being developed in a sense, because a lot of what's there will be used for it), because it gives a lot of breathing room to properly plan out what's needed and have a near complete map when the technical development starts.

Not crazy. That's part of the plan actually (blossom, torrent, anything else that comes along if it's good). Game files/builds have their hash, so you know you're getting the proper files (assuming the logging feature gets implemented). Blossom part is done pretty much (on deg mods soon), one thing that's left there (before it goes live or future update) is a mechanism to keep a log of changes to the downloads section (wouldn't capture all changes, but better than nothing). The challenge after that release is having more people start running blossom serves and start backing up mods they like. Needs code cleanup and publishing a guide, and overtime taking more development and business steps. This is more like challenge to overcome overtime. While that's happening, the torrent support update would be out.
