Board Game Arena

Is it me or is there less and less bugs being submitted?
I can't count how much games are now left without any report

I regularly check the most recent of all reports and didn't notice anything unusual.
Are you referring to some games in particular?

mostly alpha games, especially card games

Maybe developers are learning how to create bug-free games?

I still make reports regularly as I play all the new betas. Feels like more or less the same rate as always, game wise, but I don't keep track.

It IS more involved to check for duplicates since they revamped the bug system, and have ignored requests to simply place a button to see all reports for a game. They comically added a button AFTER you submit the report.

And there is also another classification layer when creating, but I don't know if that would discourage things enough. Maybe yes, maybe no.

For me, sometimes I ignore checking for duplicates now, although most of the time I do verify that there isn't one already there.

Following the “Summer of Games,” a large number of games were released to public alpha. Perhaps this led to a temporary decrease in the number of reports per game?
