[Add list of games with self-hosting features]

Why not?

[Add list of games with online-only DRM + add list of retail games that are DRM-free]

I'll talk about the first list. We currently live in an era where that are hundreds of games that will only work through an internet connection, while this may seem as a non-issue at first glance since these games are usually to be played online, the problem gets noticed once the servers are shutdown. Some companies patch their games to work offline but others just supporting them without helping the community to host their own servers, so players are left with a broken product. This practice is called "Games as a Service", Ross Scott from Accursed Farms made a video on this topic if you want to check it out. A list is useful to let people know if they own a copy of a game tied to a service and it may be extremly useful for other users to know what type of game they're buying.

As for the second list. There are lists for DRM-free games being sold on digital storefronts, so why not add a list for retail games as well?

The query to actually remove all games available on platforms -- especially historically -- fails so instead I only excluded games that has historically been on Steam as well. so it's not a 100% accurate list, but it's mostly accurate.

Yeah I was thinking, just exclude every game which is already listed in the other lists of delisted games and let this list only have games which never received a digital release. So yeah, you got my point.

[Add list of unreleased games in digital storefronts]

Currently, there are lists of digital games which are no longer being sold in certain storefronts, but not a single list with games which can only be played legally through physical copies. A list like that would be especially useful to track abandonware titles.

[Add list of LAN supported games]

Over the past few years, online only games have been taking over the market and most of them leaves LAN support out of the equation, however there are games out there that DO have some kind of LAN support (either built-in, through a separate dedicated server executable or an unofficial mod) without actually telling it us in the store page. We need some kind of list that covers them. I'd start adding games from popular franchises like the first few Call of Duty games or Rocket League.
