New Game Field: Summary
Feature description
Descriptions, especially when derived from steam, tend to be overly long and include non-text elements such as images. These lengthy and cluttered entries tend to render poorly in certain regions of the UI, especially for Fullscreen. One solution would be an abbreviated summary of the game. Added as a new game field 'summary', this property could have only a limited number of characters intended to be rendered as plain text. This field could be populated using the existing implementation to retrieve the IGDB description, as it is consistently short enough to work.
Attached are screenshots using https://github.com/davidkgriggs/PlayniteModernUI demonstrating how this new field could be used while browsing games vs viewing the details of a particular game (note the text).
