I don't think people should say that a game is bad because it didn't work on their computer. That's like saying my car is bad because I neglect to fix it and I don't fill it up with petrol and the tires with air.
If it doesn't work - try telling us why and if you even bothered to rectify the problem, if it's ACTUALLY the developers fault and it doesn't work on a MAJORITY of peoples computers and is a commonly known problem, then that's probably okay.
If it doesn't work because you're too freaking lazy to get compatible drivers for your hardware or you're trying to run a game on a redundant computer made from palm trees and coconuts (which I think is actually pretty cool), or the internet connection you have is one of those things you got that 'fell from the back of a truck'; then the problem isn't so much the game or the people who developed it, it's just simply because you're either not bothering to meet the requirements of the game or not bothering to figure out what is wrong with your COMPUTER and simply just blaming it on the game.
I'm talking to YOU people:

Sacred 2 I bought of Steam....can't even get the damn game to work, it just crashes whenever it starts up because its incompatible with ATI cards or something. Pathetic.
Have you tried looking for drivers? Have you bothered doing a bit of research about common issues and such about the game before getting it? Buying games these days is like buying a house. Buy it outright without inspecting it and checking out the neighborhood, and you may as well be buying a very nicely presented yet derelict shanty.

God so many games.... amnesia (never worked on my laptop) ...
But it for some reason works on others laptops?... so is the problem actually the game? or your laptop?

GTAIV. Bought it for $30 a couple years back thinking it was a bargain, only to spend hours going through the Games for Windows Live bullshit AND THEN find out the game won't run properly.
I managed to get mine running. I will agree, the Windows Live thing is a totally redundant feature for GTA4 to be running with, but once I got it running, I found the game pretty damn engrossing. Why isn't the game running properly? what's the difference between your not-working copy of GTA4 and my working copy?
I sigh ppls.
Anyway! my worst purchase. Shadowrun... what... was... I... THINKING?! It looked cool, and it was an impulse buy. Never again. I do a LOT of research before I buy a game these days
