Recalled release type?
« on: August 01, 2014, 07:13:08 pm »
Do we just consider recalled games to be official releases or should there be an additional release type for recalled games? For example, X-Men: Destiny was recalled on all platforms.

Would be interesting. That seems like a variation that you would use parentheses. I mean, the release was still Official, just recalled.

Edit:
Not to mention there are so few recalled games.

They're still official releases, regardless of what a dumbass judge thinks. :P (Referring to the X-Men Destiny judgment, of course.)

There really is no need to mention this as part of the item's classifiers, except maybe as a footnote. Remember that stuff like Tengen Tetris was also recalled. It's not something that happens too often. I would however set apart stuff like items that were released with game-crippling bugs (like Card Fighters DS' first print having a save bug) as variants, since copies of that are still out in the wild.
