I'm going to assume that what you are shooting for here is a store that only sells games fit for low-end machines.

I'm not sure that is necessary, as you can easily find low-end games on GoG, Itch(dot)io, and, with a little more effort, Steam. But maybe people would find a site dedicated to only these games appealing.

It's probably worth a shot. Among many other things, you should consider that:

a) Low end is a moving target, so you probably want to specify what "low end" means and stick with that long-term. For instance, you could advertise that no game requires anything better than a GTX 960.

b) If you allow people to submit games to the store, you are going to have to play all of them to insure they really meet your requirements. So using the problem from 'a', you'd need to test everything on a machine that uses a GTX 960.

c) If you host a lot of older games, which would be a natural fit, you are going to have to deal with a lot of compatibility problems.

Here's what I would do, though. Rather than committing to hosting games and downloads, which is quite a responsibility and expensive, as well, I would avoid these problems and the problems listed above entirely.

I would, instead, use Steam's API to create a website capable of a "max machine" search. You grab all the "recommended" GPU data for all the games, and do a little algorithm that allows people to pull up games that meet the requirement they input. You could also pull the top 6 game tags and let them choose those as well as search by title key words.

As opposed to having to work with publishers to distribute their earnings (and all the other stuff you have to worry about when you sell a game, like sales taxes, regional pricing, paying for downloads, etc.), you let Valve worry about all of that, and you support your site with advertising.
