Still, there isn’t a clear way to sell gpl software. a store platform only for open source games with a way to sell those games or donate directly would is a simple solution to software monetization.
Reviews aren’t real? sure there are bots but all of the reviews I’ve read made human sense on most platforms. like you get their point why x game was good/bad. not being straight up nonsense.
Anyway, a review and rating system is required to make it easier for visitors to sort games out. decide which games they’re gonna play. that’s why movie websites are just mostly review sites. and I bet more visitors will come if something is useful for them. they’ll come back again when they want to find more games to play.
There is no reason to review bomb in open source software. most of it is just free games.and none of what you said would happen if said website was open and run by the community. You can mitigate review bombings by having a comment system on reviews so whenever a fake review comes up (rule of thumb is saying straight lies.) people can either dislike the review, comment it, or report it.

I thought it would introduce more hidden gems and initiative in open source games if you had a store specifically for that.

If you’re gonna make a website for open source games at least give us the ability to review those games…

You can just sell precompiled binaries like any other software. As long as you provide the source code to those who buy it, it’s all good.
The FSF sold (I don’t know if they still do) their software on disks.
