Perhaps programs used for business purposes ought to conform to higher standards of quality than games. With respect to software warranties, would it make sense to distinguish between software used for entertainment purposes (such as a first-person shooter game) and software used for business (such as for medical testing) ?

Explanation:

A software warranty is a written promise or guarantee from a software manufacturer or company to repair or replace a product of it has a fault within a particular period of time. Such faults must arise from the manufacturer's errors.

During the warranty period given, the software developer must fix all the defects and bugs within the software so long as it occurred due to a development fault and there is evidence of system failure.

Some software programs and applications really do require a warranty with a longer duration. Such softwares include those used in big businesses and corporations like banks, medical softwares, nuclear softwares and aviation softwares. The warranties are like a testament of reliability of the software in such critical and delicate sectors.

An open source software for a video game may not require a warranty or the warranty period might not be long compared to business softwares.
