Packages generator for DRM-free commercial games

play.it is a libre software building packages (such as .deb) from installers for Linux, Windows or MacOS, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories of your favourite distribution.

Linux games are supported, as well as games developed for other systems thanks to tools like Wine, DOSBox and ScummVM.

The games are installed globally on multi-user systems, avoiding unnecessary duplication. The locations of save games, settings, mods, temporary files and backups are standardized with XDG Base Directory support.

Packaging the games simplifies future updates, uninstalls and handling of any necessary dependencies, including integrated obsolete dependencies if specific versions are needed.
