Tool Tips not needed? #176

And you mentioned something on the Vapor issue tracker asking why the Download/Play tooltips were bad or something, and of course it's cool if you totally disagree with this, but like, I think tooltips are useful if they provide extra information, otherwise they kind of just get in the way. Like, if you hovered over the screenshot and a tooltip said "This is the screenshot", you'd be like "... I know!" :P Or like, if you hover over a game on the list and it said "Select this game", you know, same kind of thing, and I think it's the same with the download button saying "Download this game now" or the "all" tab saying "All games". But this is a super minor thing and I am rambling and sorry. :D

Tool tips are not necessary as they are just overly verbose repetitions.

Perhaps some research on how to create good tool-tops is in order?

Currently for tool tips, I use words in context to help people who aren't entirely sure what the words mean figure it out.

I think we could do this better, but we would need to have a full draft revision before we commit, as there are now many languages depending on it.
