Where to find current information on quality of released games as software products?
- by Tom
As a gamer, one thing I have learned I need to be savvy about is knowing whether SomeBigGame is actually unstable or otherwise problematic as a piece of software (riddled with invasive DRM products, only runs well on a particular video driver version, crashes on non-English-language systems, etc.).
I know that game news media can sometimes be relied upon to report on some problems, but I doubt they bother to cover smaller or indie titles.
An example: I've started playing Transformice on Kongregate, and I'm considering installing the downloadable client (it is an online multiplayer game). The part of me that cares about data privacy and maintaining a clean-and-healthy PC wants to know whether there is a place I can check to find out more about a title-as-software than "it is not a literal virus."
Put another way: where would you not want to see your game receive lots of attention?
