IndieCity Devs

IndieCity is the one stop shop for all things indie gaming! This account is for developer updates!

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin [email protected] - I can't promise changes, but I will talk to the others here and see what's doable.

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@SomeIndieGames @TrentGamblin regardless of whether the review comes from a paying customer or a tester, that's the bit I want to understand

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@SomeIndieGames @TrentGamblin and yeah, I understand that a single review is a terrible thing to base anything off, but that's the case

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@SomeIndieGames @TrentGamblin To clarify - it's only used for store placement when it comes to figuring out similar games/recommendations

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin you've taken to try and articulate to me what's bad about it. I want to make things better for you guys.

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin If you email me from your developer email account I can remove your account and games, however I really appreciate the time

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin why that would bias them towards a specific type of game though (that would lead them to rate particular games badly).

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin Ah, I see. When I said they were customers I meant of IndieCity rather than necessarily a specific dev. I'm still not certain

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin That's why I'm calling them customers.

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin No, but they pay for other games on the site

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin I'm not sure that makes them no longer customers :s

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin People who are regular customers of IndieCity and say they want to be involved get involved and can help test games

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin the CAP (community approval process) system was designed pretty to ensure that they are customers though :s

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin but if the people testing are customers?

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin To be clear - I'm not trying to say "it's not a problem", I really want to understand why it *is* a problem so we can fix it

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin is actually a thing that happens?) review things for sale on that site why is that a problem?

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin If Amazon employees (or volunteers who happen to get items from Amazon for free and do reviews based on that, which I think

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@Fortress_Craft @UatecUK They can be, but generally aren't, no.

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin trying to come up with alternatives?

[IndieCity Devs @IndieCity_Devs]

@TrentGamblin Would you be able to explain your problems with CAP testers reviewing games so I can take them into account while we're
