Exclusion List for PC Game Importers (Steam, Epic, etc.)

LaunchBox for Windows

Overview

When importing games from PC platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, etc., LaunchBox currently scans and lists all games in your account, even those you’ve previously chosen not to import.

Request

Introduce an exclusion list feature that allows users to permanently exclude specific games from showing up in future import sessions.

Proposed Functionality

  • ✅ Add a “Do not show again” checkbox next to games during the import process.

  • ✅ Maintain a persistent exclusion list per importer (e.g., Steam, Epic, GOG).

  • ✅ Allow users to view and manage their exclusions in LaunchBox settings.

  • ✅ Optional setting to automatically exclude hidden games from platforms like Steam.

    Thanks for the request, have fleshed it out and opening up to the community for discussion.

    Doesn’t this basically already exist with the ImportBlacklist.xml file? Just have to import them once then delete.

    This would definitely be helpful so I don’t have to scroll through a bunch of Steam games each time that I have no interest in adding to my LB library
