Bug#1037507: RM: gnome-games-app -- RoM; unmaintained, renamed to highscore

[Jeremy Bícha]

Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-games-app at packages.debian.org
Affects: src:gnome-games-app

gnome-games-app will no longer be runnable or installable as we
proceed with the grilo part of the ongoing mega libsoup2.4 -> libsoup3
transition. See https://bugs.debian.org/1037433

gnome-games-app was archived upstream and renamed to highscore.
Therefore, once it is ported to libsoup3, it can re-enter Debian with
a new source package name, highscore.

However, the highscore maintainers never did a release after the name
change and the project is currently unmaintained.

Alternatives
----------------
Neither gnome-games nor highscore are currently available on Flathub
but gnome-games used to be there and it could return if someone would
step up to maintain it.

There isn't yet a Snap version of the app either.

Both lutris and retroarch are packaged in Debian and are similar apps
to gnome-games-app.
