Two requests relative to wishlists, one of which has been raised before, but hopefully is more in line with current goals than it was then.

1: Import of Steam/GOG/Humble wishlists, any and/or all, would be awesome.

2: Radio buttons or list for preferred platforms on wishlist, instead of a single, or a way of limiting preferred platforms if one prefers only a few and would not care for others. As an example, there are relatively few games I am looking for in physical media at the moment, but I do have an order of preference when it comes to digital providers, modulated by price.

My dream wishlist (which no one is under any obligation to provide) would let me define defaults of whether I usually want physical or digital media, whether price or provider is more important to me (maybe on a 5-point scale like surveys use), and list my top three providers for digital or physical media. So, for me, the defaults would be digital, slightly more important to get the provider I like than the price, and I prefer GOG, Humble, and Steam, in that order. Then, if for one game the answers were different, I could edit just that entry- Say my Neverhood disk got broken, I would want a new one, because nostalgia. Flip it over to Physical, and now it shows my defaults for that- price much more important than source, and no particular preferred retailers. Or get all gnarly granular per game, if for example, you usually don't care, but one game has a lot of pirate copies, so you want to buy it from a well-established source with a good return policy.

Importing Steam wish lists is something I've wanted to do for a while, but it keeps slipping on the priority list :(

Multiple platform support is something I hadn't thought of before, but would be a pretty big architectural change. I'll have to look at that one more in depth. It may not be ideal, but you can always have multiple entries on your wish list for the same game, each with a different format / provider.
