Stretch goals

• file compression when sending to specific folders / backup
• communicate to other PCs to check if the game is installed on another machine
• steam workshop files
• investigate if saving the list of appmanifests as a json or similar is faster than individually reading the appmanifests every boot
• steam API? / steamDB API
  • check if up to date (maybe even how large the update is)
  • get user data (e.g. last time user played xyz game)
