I have one request. I'm not sure how difficult it is to implement on your end, but would be nice to get the same results as shown on the main website (only using as a reference example here). What I mean, as an example if you click "New Games" on the main site versus either using /games sorted by original_release_date:desc or /releases sorted by release_date:desc the results different and neither match anything on the website accurately skimming over my results anyway.
If I am doing it wrong, can you explain?
Also, one question/inquiry, would you rather have us download the entire data and only make occasional requests to get updates or would you rather have us use the API in closer to realtime? I ask for implementation issues on my end and in some cases some APIs / ToS don't allow storing the data.
If you would rather have us store the data with only the occasional update request can you provide a download in a readable format if not, I can provide one and keep it updated and put it on GitHub or something. I've written a few. It ended up being 10's of gigabytes including the images.
I am willing to offer any services as this is the closest half way decent (but still lacking, sorry guys) video game API that I can find. I'm in Austin, but not subverting your API.
EDIT: Guys, did you change something? I'm all of sudden get redirects in the responses. I noticed it seems to result from not including a trailing slash. I never noticed this previously.
