PCGamingWiki entries should have a "Redists & Software Requirements" section

[blood_wraith 0]

PCGW entries have a hardware and OS requirements section, that much is obvious. But PCGW entries don't appear to have a "Redists & Software Requirements" (or at least, not usually).

PC games usually come with their required redists, but sometimes they don't, and it sucks when you're missing a redist the game needs to run, and it sucks even more when you don't know what that redist is.

The wiki should add a default Redists & Software Requirements section template. While not mandatory to list, it's a really useful bit of info to know.

Random example of what that section would look like:

This (insert Steam game here) comes with all the required redists within the games folder, and is installed automatically upon launch.

This (insert Steam game here) downloads the redists on the side, and they can be found in the Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared folder. Make sure to back these up as well if you are backing the game up.

This (insert GoG game here) forgot to include a few redists, woops. Here is where they can be downloaded from.

 

Could also be swell if said redists (within reason) were uploaded to the wiki itself, that would be really handy.
