no indication of what games are available from others

from Stardock Forums

So far I've found my most frustrating piece is that I have no clue if my friends can actually play a game with me or not.   For example, if I select Demigod, I can be fairly certain that most of my friend list has Demigod, but I have no way of knowing.   For a less common (at least as far as the Stadrock crowd) like Left 4 Dead or Civilization IV, I can still choose from all of my friends list even though none of them have it.    

I know there is that "show people who don't have the game" option which I guess in theory might be turned off.    But I just want to be able to look to see what games they have (provided they let others see their game list of course).    It could be I have a game that I never bothered to install (or detect with R2P) because I did not think other people had it.

Perhaps on a per-game basis.   Like select which games you tell others you have, in case there is a game you don't want others to know you're playing, but still want to let them know you're happy to play your other games with them.

I think there should be a master list for all choosen* games from people logged in into RTP. Maybe even how many times a game has been choosen, so you can make impulse buys of that game in ... Impulse :)

I mean if you see a game with high detection, you can be quite sure to find some players and that it is some good.

 

*where choosen means 'marked' for looking to play.

 

Urgh, is it clear what i mean? Sometimes my englisch isnt sufficient for what i want to say :(

You would like to know a count of people "Ready to Play" games you don't own or a list of the most popular games that people are Ready to Play?

he wants people to be able to make a list of what games they do have and have said list viewable somewhere on their profile. The next step from there would be Most Popular Friends' Games that you do/don't own lists that will show you what a bunch of your other friends have that you do, and a way of seeing what most of your friends have that you don't. Then take that feature and build it into the Ready2Play so you can see people that are on your friends list but may not be actively looking to play the game at the moment and drag them into a game anyways. I think that's what he was going for anyways

That was not what i meant, but it seems a good idea, too.

OK.  That is easy enough, we will also list them somewhere on the RTP product page:
