Hey everyone,

One of the features I added today was an option for including / excluding free-to-play games when you run the Steam import. From what I could tell, Steam is inconsistent in what it provides via their API in identifying free-to-play games, so I said screw it and just created my own layer for it.

The good news is, this functionality is done and ready to use. The bad news is, I have to maintain the data from this point forward. I went through all of the games and tried to mark them appropriately, but if you happen to see any weirdness with the import including free-to-play games when you tried to exclude them, let me know and I can fix it.

I don't know which API you are using but the storefront api also includes Genres. One of those is a 'free to play' genre which should be enough, but perhaps that field is what you are referring to as inconsistent?

Anyway, great job!
