Sure. I'm not against *having* offline screenshots. I'm just concerned
about how they are *obtained*. You could perfectly create the package
source of games-thumbnails out of a query to screenshots.debian.net,
right? But having two competing systems to ask users for screenshots,
one of them with a cool and sophisticated web interface and the other one
a manually driven "send me an e-mail" interface sounds quite stupid to me.

Yes - I think the problem here is that goplay people and screenshots
people just do not talk to each other, right?

Reducing the size of a screenshot for probably smaller package size of
games-thumbnails, shouldn't be a real problem.
Kind regards
