Kind of a problem, Flashpoint Infinity's filesize is massive. A big factor to this is the database file.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Rely on HTTP requests to list games, and search for them dynamically (ex: you scroll) similar to how Twitter works. Metadata for each game is also externalized like how thumbnails and screenshots are external.

This is similar to how Flashpoint Infinity exists. Not everyone wants to have the desription, title, other metadata, and links of 175000 games and animations.

The database being included with the program is by design, and will remain that way.
