Crown Description:
Concerns have been raised that Obvious Beta's scope is too narrow, that the name is misleading, and that the concept is subjective despite not being classified as such. Thus, expanding its scope, renaming it, and classifying it as YMMV have been suggested. What should be done with it? Options are not mutually exclusive.Expand the definition to include the “Game is glitchy or missing things, but still playable” example category listed in the wick check (such as games that have a high amount of glitches that make them harder to play than they should be, but not necessarily completely unplayable) in addition to the “Game is genuinely nigh-unplayable at launch” category covered by the current definition. This post
and this post contain further discussion regarding what expanding the definition this way would entail.
