Replying to [comment:2 stippi]:

Showing an empty list is not so helpful. Another possibility would be to
fall back to disabling the featured packages as soon as the list would be
empty. I am just thinking that showing only the featured packages of a
certain category is a valid use-case.
I agree. Maybe move the menu item "Only featured packages" into a pop-up
menu with the label "Filter:". There could be another filter "Only
ratings" with a submenu labeled "Greater than" and the items ⋆ up to
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆.

But I am wondering.... the featured packages do show installed packages
by default. You should have seen the installed, featured games, no?

I should've. I also should see every non-installed featured game. There
are "featured" games, right?
