Hi. I really need more text to describe my game on Desura.

a limit of 1000 characters to try and describe a video game that you are trying to sell along with nowhere to put the hardware requirements of the game is really silly.

My IndieDB description is over 1800 characters and its only that short because it contains many links (that my desura description can't even contain) to additional info on the game.

I can't even link to a 'manual'/'how to play' or 'more info' from my Desura description since html is not allowed.

Then there is also the fact that my Desura description and IndieDB summery are the same thing... And shown striped of all line feeds at the top of every IndieDB page making all my IndieDB pages look ugly.

Taking a look at steam and you can see nice separate sections for summery, key features, hardware requirements for every game.

Personally I would much rather my IndieDB description be used on Desura, with the links and fancy HTML formatting and such. Then I could keep the summery short and to the point and it wouldn't clutter up all my indieDB sub pages.
