I think that there should be rule that games which have 3 points or lower in week, will get erased. I know it would be dissappointing for game developers to see their games erased (but its still better than getting 1000 bad comments every day). My point is that lately horrid games without any effort or games made just to advertise something are popping up. So what do you think about this?
What's the point about deleting games? Half the people playing them don't play till the end most of the time, so their judgement is skewed.
Secondly, what's so bad about having some bad games around? They appeal to some people, I like Checkpoint Chase because I'm a simple man. Nor does the game clog the site up.
Game developers will never come up with games that are appealing to everyone, let live and die. And no, I disagree. Only the latest three are horrid, so let's note generalize and go into a hysterical panic mode that AG will continue to spawn bad games.
Last thing for now, the bad comments will most probably spur the creator into making improvements.
I'm suppriseingly with nicodemus on this one... If the game is bad then stop playing it, and if anything the bad feedback will help the game creator to make a better game which will in the end help the site.
There are several good arguments and reasons for keeping the (in your opinion) 'bad' games included on ArmorGames, for example:
- They obviously have the means to keep them on the website, no wasted server space, no harm done;
- By accepting and uploading the 'lesser developed' games, they provide a platform for new game developers to try out their skills and get feedback on their creations;
- Games that are 'bad' in your opinion, might be 'awesome' for others, remember that every gamer has his/her own preferences in what type, style and sort of game they like and dislike;
- Some games are uploaded as a beta version, thus usually getting low ratings from the users that play them. After a while there's enough feedback generated to update and tweak the game and upload it again or as a ".... - 2" version, which in turn will get better ratings. Leaving the beta version on here is sometimes done to create even more feedback on it and feedback is considered "GOLD" for game developers!
That is not fair to the game creators. Just think about it. You make a game, feel extremely proud because it is your first one ever, and it gets removed for bad ratings. How would you feel? Hurt, disappointed. You see what I mean? Also just because it has bad ratings does not mean that everyone hates it. Say you and 100,000 people hate a game that was made by a new creator. Then 50,000 people like the game and enjoy playing it. Not only as I said before is unfair to the creator but also the players who enjoy the game. I hope I made sense in this reply. Have a nice day, Ethan
