Please reply to this if you agree so it gets bumped.
If you find a game that physically won't work (won't load in a browser or the file is just a .exe without other required files), don't leave it unrated, give it a 1-1-1-1-1-1. That way the "needs rating" page won't be full of games that don't work.
I agree as well. It's not very nice giving people 1 star for not having a working build, but you can't rate it if you cant play it and if you didnt rate it, it wont get off the "in need of rating" list where there are real working games.
Everyone had a lot of time to find how building a game and uploading it to itch works, so i think this is the best option how to get unplayable games off the list. :)
agreed, it feels bad but is the logical thing to do...
Also just saying about the "the file is just a .exe without other required files" part, some engines (like Godot, don't know about others but there probably are a few) let you export and embed the .pck file, making the game just a .exe and it still works. Of course if it doesn't run and give you an error that's not the case and the game really isn't playable
