I hope the PC Gaming Alliance comes up with a better way to present the needed system requirements, and fast please.

So the developers recommend hardware that was new about 2 years ago, so I'm sure it's not the hardware I need to play on max settings on 1920x1200. It can't be that hard to invent a simple point system to measure this, something like the Windows Vista Performance Index.

But why should they turn off potential buyers?

Who said anything about that? I was just talking about giving more precise information, the current system is about as accurate as tea leaf reading.

Yes, but that's on purpose!

Oh I see, you mean by tricking customers into thinking they do fulfill the requirements, well maybe it does work in short term, but the PC platform isn't doing so well and I bet most customers can only be fooled once, so I say informing the customer is a better long term solution.
By the way, I'm not making this up, this is on the agenda of this newly formed alliance, you can read a bit about on the Wikipedia where I linked to.

It's not really about tricking them, it's more about not telling them what the ideal specifications for their game(s) are.
