Morning all,
Just thought I'd stop by and mention my site.
WeThePlayers.com
I gave this one a quick look.
On the positives, it looks really good visually. The overall design looks great, although the various PC platforms need their own icons (right now, everything is just the windows logo). And I think the report button looks a bit weird. I'd never guess what is was just from the icon.
On a technical level, there's some stuff that's broken. Changing your email when you're using google login based account makes it impossible to log in using google (the next time you try logging in, it'll just make a new account), and requires you to make a password reset to be able to login into the original account (since it never had a password). Since there's no confirmation email when you change it, you could permanently lock yourself out of your account if you mistype the email. Changing your email back to the original one restores your ability to login with google, which seems like it could cause issues.
In addition, when creating an account using google login, you can skip the username entry page, which means you can technically create an account without agreeing to the terms of service or the privacy policy (if that even matters). As mentioned above, the email change also does not send out a confirmation email, meaning that if someone gains access to your account, they can very easily lock you out of it forever by changing the email.
The site also almost certainly breaks GDPR. As far as I understand, sites need to ask for consent before storing any cookies, need to allow you to withdraw this consent in a way that's equally as easy as giving it, and your site needs to allow access even if the users chose to reject any non critical functionality (so the site should still work even if users reject the tracking/advertising cookies).
I'm even less of an expert on US law, but the CAN-SPAM act requires marketing emails to include a physical address of your company in addition to an unsubscribe link. No idea how that applies to EU companies, but I know some third party email marketing services require it regardless of where you're from.
Can't really comment much on the functionality, because this is clearly meant to be more of a blogging/community site than a cataloging site, which is what I use sites like this for. Since there's no real way to sort or filter your collection, it's pretty much useless for me. I'm not a huge fan of how review scores work - some games I rate very highly don't have visuals or audio (for example text adventure games), but the rating system requires scores for both of these.
