@yochananmarqos, I see you have posted the source code link in the OOD flag 
comment.

I was not aware that the source is open, as I only briefly checked the GameJolt 
website earlier, and it surely doesn't advertise the GitHub repo. Also I only 
advised the maintainer to create a '-bin' suffixed package, OR a package 
without such suffix *if the application is closed source*.

I guess we were both unaware of the published source, an honest mistake.

Also btw, maintainer only took over the earlier long-abandoned 
gamejolt-client-bin-aur package 11 days ago. And as far as I can tell, this is 
their first package on AUR.

So let's not be so harsh with our newest contributors, shall we? :)

Cheers,
Marcell (MarsSeed)
