: You aren't buying a car or a house here. In my opinion all I need to know
: about a game is: 1. Genre
: 2. Developer
: 3. Platform
: 4. System Requirements (if applicable)
: 5. Any features that set it apart from other games in the genre

: That's kind of it.

You are 100%, absolutely correct! In your opinion, that's all you need to know to buy a video game!

When I buy a video game though, I like to know if that co-op mode was originally planned for a disc-based release and then cut out to be added as DLC. I like to know if the original campaign designer left after the planning stage and wasn't there to direct or manage the creative team in their implementation. I like to know if the most famous writer of songs ever collaborated on every piece of music or donated one 4-minute tune that shows up for 30 seconds in-game. I like to know if they completely redesigned the main character in the sequel to one of my favorite games for "reasons".

In my opinion, that's something I need to know before I buy a game.
