Why does this reach out to your server?

Why does this reach out to your server? gib.me Seems to be pulling the games.xml But what is REMOVED ; REMOVED Why cant this all be done locally? Or host publicly.

games.xml is a list of all games with achievements. This list cannot be generated via the Steamworks API.

I don't know why you're probing my server for random files, but that's not cool.

Could games.xml be hosted somewhere other than my server? Sure.

It's a historical thing and I just haven't gotten around to moving it elsewhere, SAM is 12 years old.

Why not host it in the github repository? Sorry for bugging you. Such things are always a concern to me. Can't you just clone the git, then pull the xml all the time?

The project itself is 12 years old, it's only been on GitHub for 3 years. As I said, it's a historical thing and I just haven't gotten around to moving it elsewhere.

games.xml gets updated daily, so if I were to add it, it wouldn't be directly on this repository.
