Game API developer descriptions outdated

[ttbowen]

The Game API /users/ endpoint currently returns developer_description with outdated developer descriptions.

What do you mean outdated? Give an example of something you expected and something unexpected you received. We dont keep past descriptions, so could it be "oudated" hmm

Forgot about this. So basically say you send this request http://api.gamejolt.com/api/game/v1_1/users/?game_id=22237&user_id=15071&signature=BLAH

You get back this payload.

{
    "response": {
        "success": "true",
        "users": [{
            "id": "15071",
            "type": "Developer",
            "username": "Bowenware_Games",
            "avatar_url": "https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/75152fb7da1d2361ae646de37a86a5b5?s=60&r=pg&d=https%3A%2F%2Fb6d3e9q9.ssl.hwcdn.net%2Fimg%2Fno-avatar-3.png",
            "signed_up": "5 years ago",
            "signed_up_timestamp": 1344092324,
            "last_logged_in": "Online Now",
            "last_logged_in_timestamp": 1508323015,
            "status": "Active",
            "developer_name": "Dr. Bowen",
            "developer_website": "",
            "developer_description": "An amateur\u00a0indie games developer, trying his best to create good games. I am currently working on a game if you want to know and I hope to upload it here soon. But for now why not play what I have already got; I live to see my games get played!I'm also a moderator here at Game Jolt, so feel free to talk to me about any worries or concerns you have on the site.

    }
}

However, developer_description is not the description that appears on the site. Also it doesn't return a description for new signed up users, even if they are a developer. Basically anyone who signed up after wttf can't have a description set.

We are going to update this endpoint to return the user's markdown description.
