gnome-games-app needs to be ported from libsoup2.4 to libsoup3.

It is not possible for apps to simultaneously link against both
libsoup2.4 and libsoup3.

We need to switch grilo and its dependencies to libsoup3; this will
make it impossible to run gnome-games-app as a .deb in Debian Trixie.

Upstream changed their name to Highscore but never did publish a
release with the rename. The project looks unmaintained currently.

Alternatives
---------------
Unfortunately, it appears like the app is not currently published in
Flathub, nor has a Snap version been published yet.

There are Debian packages of Lutris and Retroarch which are similar apps.

Thank you,
