We like to play coop games regularly with a small group of friends.
We usually meet online on the same weekday night at the same time for 2 hours.
We have a few coop games that are installed on all of our machines, but sometimes we enjoy trying out new games that are free for a weekend for example. In those cases we all need to install them beforehand of course, and it must be completed before the scheduled time.
To make this whole process more streamlined I think it would be great to have a feature in GOG Galaxy that:
* shows what games are currently installed on my friends' machines (if they allow me to see that) with a quick summary of its multiplayer options (eg. max. 3-player coop, max. 4-player PvP, etc.)
* schedules "gaming hours" that invites a group of my friends to play at a specific time, and let them RSVP (yes/no/maybe). This would allow us to invite other friends if someone can't make it that night.
* lets the organizer select the games they would like to play with, lets others add other games, and we could all vote with a yes/no on the games if we are ok with that choice
* optionally GOG Galaxy could recommend games to us to try (that are similar to the ones we like to play or that are currently have a free weekend)
I already like GOG Galaxy, and if this feature was implemented in, I would definitely use it more to organize our online gaming parties.
Ideally it would be supported natively, but I'm also wondering if it was possible to make as a 3rd party plugin?
