| Oct 2, 2015 at 22:55 | comment | added | user106385 | Its worth noting that the request for information about the game and platforms should be answered in the games tag wiki. Users wishing to answer these questions should simply upload to the tag wiki. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 16:18 | comment | added | Robotnik Mod | I agree with this answer, just a small nitpick on the last point: it really isn't up to the OP whether the question is closed or not. They can vote, however ultimately questions and answers here are 'owned' by Stack Exchange - if we wanted to keep it around it is within our power to do so. The OP can request to be disassociated with it entirely, in which case they won't earn/lose rep on it. Its a bit moot in this case, I'm just pointing it out because people might get the wrong idea that requesting closure may not work if the community deems it worthwhile to keep. | |

| Oct 2, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | user101016 | I think the downvotes will be enough to discourage such questions. Look at the comments shortly after the question was asked (OP wanted to close the question himself, not sure what problems he/she encountered to actually carry this out). At the moment we have a case of a valid but low quality question being closed with an illogical reason. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 14:16 | comment | added | Frank | I feel that these questions don't really play to our expertise, and we should not encourage them in any sense. All we're doing is replacing what the developer has already said about their own game. While there currently isn't a good reason to close, I don't feel there's any value in keeping these questions, either. | |
