First of all the name, the logo of a pirate, using the terminology “alternatively obtained” - this is clearly for sharing cracked/pirated games. Any plausible deniability is out the window. Especially with using copyrighted game box arts in the screenshots.

It’s designed to assist with sharing games with friends by providing a mechanism for downloading and managing game installations. Please review your game’s licenses to ensure this is an acceptable use before sharing.
Then you’d be able to say “this is meant for sharing freeware/shareware easily and making it a social experience.”
Also change the name and logo, and get those copyrighted box arts out of the screenshots and just use art from open source games SuperTaxKart, OpenRA, etc. (Technically those may be copyrighted, depends on each game, but at least you’re not dealing with fucking Sony by showing a Spider-Man game).
