The point is that this directory has a significant influence on what the public plays, yet we choose to ignore it. As it is, it has biases, so I thought maybe we could find a way to improve the experience for new users. My first rom hack that I played was a ragefest entry. I did not join this community for many years after that because I thought that was representative of the community. Sure, that was narrow minded of me, but I am certain that there are others who’ve had similar experiences to that.
I personally believe that featuring a few “must plays” encourages community growth, but I understand that it isn’t desirable to turn it into a popularity contest, so I will stop berating that point.
However, currently hacks that are [Complete] are significantly favoured over incomplete ones. Clearly if we want to give all hacks a fair chance, we’d have to combine those categories, right?
Ok, it doesn’t really matter. But another way we could do it is to randomize the order of the list. Idk, just a thought. Thanks for the feedback.
