We’ve all had frustrations while playing our favorite PC games: unreasonably long install times, poor key mapping and save files hidden in seemingly random folders. Thankfully, Alec Meer over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun has quantified ten of the most fundamental design flaws that can give PC gamers grey hairs at a premature age so developers are finally aware of their taboos and can avoid them in the future.

Over the last decade, it has become evident that video game arcades are headed towards extinction. The flashing message of “please insert another 25 cents” is a piece of history, just like that part of gamers’ brains which were permanently fizzled by the seizure-inducing lights.
