Suggestion: Change how you select your languages.

Post by Fugus »

The current way the Dat-O-Matic handles it requires you to not only select your region but also every permutation of it. My suggestion is just have you select your region and the Dat-O-Matic just includes every permutation that includes it. Here is an example, I used to one from the Game Boy Advance. Here it is currently but formatted to show everything better than the run on sentence it currently displays as.

Infinitely more readable and with less chances to mess up when choosing your regions. In the first one, you have to hit 15 different boxes just to select the USA region games as opposed to just hitting USA in the other one. And how often do you really have users wanting to select the games that came out exclusively to the USA but nowhere else or games that came out in the USA and Europe but not the ones that came out in the USA, Europe, and Korea?

Edit: Sorry, the website removed all the formatting.... Went and redid it as best I could.
