Idea: Adding a "I completed this" checkbox to the game rating page
I think it'd be interesting to see how many people were actually able to complete a game before leaving a rating. I don't think we should require it to leave a rating, but rather have it as an extra piece of feedback for games.
A lot of games end up being too hard, or too long for people to complete. Or they don't have a strong enough hook, people play them for a bit and then give up. And of course, a lot of the people rating games aren't that invested in spending a lot of time, and move on quickly. It's sad as gamedev to see that, but also its a reality which we have to design around! So I think having a checkbox would be helpful to figure out whether a game should try to be shorter, or have a better hook, or what.
It'd probably have a slight effect to encourage people to make the effort to play longer, although I'm thinking the main advantage would be the feedback.
Thoughts?
