So, you were asking for polls. Does this work for everyone?

Technically: works great!

Now we have to find good things to vote for…

Wasn’t there a post somewhere about a questionaire that could be quite useful…

Some of the obvious questions that it’d be nice to know would be the platform/vm/graphics that people are running on to help aim the product. However, I suppose a poll here wouldn’t be too useful since developers tend to have better than average equipment/software?

Do the polls have to be on the main forums index, or can they be hidden so that those who don’t care about a particular poll don’t have to be greeted with the poll or the results?, or was that just a trial and placed somewhere where everyone would notice on powpus?

Tried one poll on my own:

Put there on purpose so all could see that you now have polls. I am the only one that can place polls there, so we will use the feature very carefully :slight_smile:

How about checking the system requirements for games that you’re “competing” with at your local game store? Won’t help you much with VM distribution, but it may give you an idea what the average PC gamer has these days. Look at games that have been out for at least 10 months.
