This matches at least my personal behaviour. I'm a programmer myself, so if a game or application has a bug I'll instantly start thinking about what could've caused it and what data would be useful. It's advantageous for me because the bug may be fixed, and (hopefully) advantageous to the Dev because they get the information they need to fix it. It doesn't always work though. At one point I sent an entire stack trace and all kinds of debug info to an app developer. I got the response that they'd look into it, but nothing ever comes of it. I'd accept it if they just admitted that it's not worth their time, but somehow that's also too hard to say.
