Never understood why Valve didn't leverage Steam to build a database of performance benchmarks, especially to change the awful System Requirements system.

- davidgaleano 11y agoWell, at least they made their hardware and software survey public: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
- justinclift 11y agoWhat do you reckon the right way for them do that that would be (in a practical sense)? Thinking about that a bit, it would probably be possible, but there would be downsides that might not make it worth it. For example, supporting people on the low side of hardware specs complaining that X game/software/etc isn't working well enough. Conversely, other people on the same hardware might not have an issue with it. (different levels of "acceptable" for different people) Not sure it'd be worth the effort (any time soon). There are other much simpler things Valve needs to fix first in order to increase sales. :)
