Game-specific launchers

This cluster comprises launchers that activate and manage game clients for specific titles, often enabling cross-platform play, private server access, or legacy game preservation. Dated entries are sparse and irregular, with single launches scattered from 2016 to 2026 and no clear trend. Traction is dominated by Arknights-MacOS-Client with 17 stars, while other members show minimal or no activity.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
