at its heart, it must be a partnership built on trust

well… as much trust as you can get back after such activities.

Oh, did I miss it? Was it recently?

Ooh, that’s really cool.

I’ve played very good demos in the past where I would have liked to write a positive review [without buying the game or reviewing the full game].

Being able to add them to the library as “play later” (eventually, right?) is a very good addition too.

I agree in principle, I would often prefer descriptions over comparisons (as a reader/discoverer).

But I believe that these comparisons work. And they work well. Otherwise they wouldn’t be and still be so prevalent.

Usually they are comparisons / relations to very popular titles. If people know those titles, they immediately get a representation and imaginary picture of what the game is about.

A more direct description requires interpretation and creativity to assess, understand, and imagine.

I personally think it’s better, and can spark better and more personal interest (e.g. from the example “cozy” and “power washing”). But regularly seeing comparisons tells me many others don’t.

They’re going Rogue-like!

maybe the engines would take off by themselves

I see, TIL. That’s different from Germany, where Ingenieur is a protected term.

The term engineering is not about problem-solving, especially when differentiated from development. Engineering is about deliberate understanding and decision-making, about giving it an architecture, a structure.

You can develop without any structure, solving an issue, without understanding a bigger context or picture or behavior. But that’s not engineering.

Driving a train is engineering?

I think the guideline should be: future software should be written on a whim
