I was one of those who for every problem I had I would go out of my way to reliably reproduce the problem, then I would create a detailed description of it, with full system specs, terminal output (on both Windows and Linux) and all log files I could find.

Today, I still do that on Linux. But if it excludes Linux as a platform, it must be rock solid on windows, right? If it isn't, all it gets is a negative review going about the "crashes all the time", "glitchy" and "is unplayable". That saved me a lot of time.

Being an indie GameDev myself, I personally love well written tickets. But the passive aggressive responses I often receive from big devs makes me wonder if I'm actually the only one.
