Unless there's some other reason to reject the report (insufficient detail, internal \
inconsistency, etc.), it's a valid report. The AppDB is for information, not \
advertising, and we don't censor reports just because they give a low rating.

It's not clear from what you say, however, whether the report even mentioned what \
graphics card and driver were used. If not, you could ask the user to add that \
information and resubmit. Many maintainers of games require that information, and \
IMO, that's a good practice for games entries.
