PCGamingWiki begins Kickstarter, PC gaming getting easier?

(reposted on behalf of andytizer8888, who was not level 10 yet)

PCGamingWiki- is a wiki aiming to list a single page forall PC game fixes. No more forum searching, multi-page threads and locked forums whilst searching for a game fix.

Kickstarter for PCGamingWiki. If enough people can get behind this, maybe we can eradicate the 'nvm fixed it' forums posts for PC games forever..

I had never heard of this site and it's conceptually very cool, but I think they're dreaming. Even if all the banner rewards are bought by advertisers, that's still $41k they need to raise.

But if it does take off, it will provide an easy rebuttal to the argument that you need to spend hours searching for fixes to play any PC game (I mean, besides "You're an idiot")

That would be sweet.

I remember my days as a pc gamer. Looking for solutions on message boards with 1 out of 10 responses actually fixing the problem

"Errror #258959680" there's only 1 hit and the thread stopped in 2003.

lol

Nostalgia. Memories.

I don't deal with it unless I get paid.

I Xbox it and live my life.

You want me to deal with error messages, pay me $60/hr and I will deal with them, completey and effectively.

If it's my time and I'm free, then I rent it, Xbox it, if I don't like it then I send it back.

Problem -> Solution

Hello super fly.I don't think anyone wants you to be a level ten or over user.

Hi thanks for the support and for reposting this thread. I'm hopeful that the Kickstarter will succeed, but it'll require the supreme generosity of the community to make the project succeed (4,100 donators giving $10 each). If you don't have money to spare, come and support us by editing the site: http://www.pcgamingwiki.com

So... how much would I spend to never have to look far again for a solution to a PC issue...

Hmmm.
This is a tough one.
Cause you know, it happens very infrequently but when it does you really do want to get it solved fast.
Usually that takes like... half an hour to an hour?

If I could do it in 10 minutes then that is worth like $20 for me. But there is little guarantee, right?

True.

I've sent Jeff G a question about PCGamingWiki and the possibility of having a section for fixes on GB, so hopefully he'll have some insight on that.

[QUOTE="andytizer8888"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Oho, so you're involved. I was thinking, Giant Bomb has a pretty extensive gaming wiki already (with a big community), and they're now owned by CBS which puts a lot more resources at their disposal. If this Kickstarter doesn't work out, I wonder if there's some potential for collaboration there.Cherokee_Jack

True.

I'm interested in hearing a response.
