Title:
The Software Center contains no information about minimum requirements
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Bug description:
software-center 3.0.4, Ubuntu 10.10
Ubuntu Software Center contains no information about minimum hardware
requirements for the listed applications.
This is not usually a problem, since most of the software is free, and can
easily be uninstalled if ones computer can't handle. However, with the
introduction of commercial software, one can be in a situation where the
software one has purchased will not run properly on one's hardware.
For instance, I recently purchased the game Brukkon. An excellent game, I'm
sure, but it is unplayable on my netbook, and I had no way to know that my
netbook wasn't powerful enough.
I also own a desktop machine, so I can enjoy the game there, but some people
may only own a netbook, or an old laptop, or maybe there will soon be games in
the Software Center with much higher hardware requirements.
For this reason, I suggest that it should be a requirement for all
commercial software that wants to get into the Software Center to list
its minimum hardware requirements in the description.
