What does snooze do exactly? Is it a way to say "I'm putting this game on hiatus until further notice"?
It just means hide it from the "My Games" list when there are no new posts.

It kinda is! If this same list was more accessible from the user interface AND/OR if the list of games were clickable so the related game forum can be visited, that would basically be what's in my head. That way I can curate my own list of public games I want to follow and have an easy way of visiting and reading up on the game.

Sort of the opposite direction of the snooze thread idea, but am I the only one who would find use in a function where you can set a sort of "alarm" to let you know if you haven't posted in a game in a while? Like, if you want to, you can go into your profile settings and set it so that a notification shows up if you have been idle from a game for a certain amount of time (maybe a user defined amount of time, or according to a game's posting rate).
I feel like often I open a game, read the unread posts, and close it because I don't have the time at the moment to write a response. I then forget to actually write a response later, due to the game being marked read. I cope by going into my games list sometimes and see which games I haven't posted in yet, but I wonder if people would find use in an opt in function that "pokes" them if they haven't posted in a while.
It could work in conjunction with snoozed games; they would act as an exception to the "alarm" notification settings.
These are very interesting. Instead of trying to work on the "My Games" list, it might make more sense to revisit the idea of subscriptions (especially now we have more access to public games) and thinking about this anew rather than trying to tweak the "My Games" section.
(moved these to the
development game ideas thread for future consideration)
