It's nice to see an actual poll being made about it since it is an issue that I brought to attention a few months ago. I'm unsure what option would be best to choose, but my general goal would be to follow the box style. For instance, GTA San: Andreas on 360 has 2 versions, the 360 "DVD sized" box and the later version branded as 360 & ONE featuring the ONE box style. Sure, the disc ISO is the same I believe, but since the box style of the second version follows the ONE style, it should be under Xbox One. Same for Xbox demo discs, a portion of them play on both the original Xbox and Xbox 360, but when I tasked myself with cleaning up the Xbox Demo section in the database 2 years ago (and I'm still not done yet) I treated those releases as 360 Demo and not OG Xbox Demo. And finally, the fact that this is already how most of us did things in the database, it is logical to keep it this way. But yes, the opposite would be true, in the case of that Watch Dogs Legion release for instance, it's definetly a PS4 game, who cares that the PS5 can still play it, it's called retrocompatibility. If there's a PS4 logo, it's a PS4 release. If there's a PS5 logo, it's a PS5 release. If there's both logos but the box style is closer to one console, we should list it under that console. And as for those ONE/Series cross-platform releases, both logos are there and the box style is exactly the same between both consoles, so you have to view the retrocompatibility argument. If it plays in both consoles it just means that it's a Xbox One game and it's simply recognised as a Xbox One game internally when inserted in a Xbox Series and your game is merely played on retrocompability mode. That's the way I see it, but yeah blurring the line between game generations is causing a lot of problems for archivists and I hate this trend.This was the option I wanted essentially.
It works there for Prima, but not others. Certainly not the two Resident Evil 4 links you put.Yup. Personally, I'd want those to be more identifiable Resident Evil 4 (Covers Nintendo Gamecube) and Resident Evil 4 (Covers Playstation 2), but that seems too odd of an exception to capture.
Whereas this one: https://www.vgcollect.com/item/62546
Is Resident Evil 4: Official Strategy Guide on the cover and Resident Evil 4 (Secrets Revealed!) on the spine.

...Yes, these are exactly the things I'm wondering about.
If they are not editions they should not use hyphen. Putting a publisher in descriptor is no different than we do for video games.Ah, I misunderstood. That does leave me with some questions for clarification, because if I can get a firm set of rules or whatnot I can go scan through the whole Strategy Guide section and start correcting titles where necessary.
So Donkey Kong 64 (Prima) and Donkey Kong 64 (BradyGames) are fine.
The fact you need to do edits once there are two things with the same name to add a descriptor is nothing new. I don't think we will get away from it.
Not to throw shade in any particular direction, but does this board's software support a block or mute at all? At this point and I think it would probably resolve the bulk of the issues around here if folks had the option.I've brought it up a few times that smf mods has friend/foe system and other block mods and they should integrate easily.
Sims 3, The: Officially Licensed Game Guide (Covers Xbox 360)Just the (Covers Xbox 360), or should it be the full text of (Covers Xbox 360, Playstation 3, & Wii)?

Seriously, you can fuck right off with that noise.And now, every single day for the past week some neighbor has been blaring tejano music. My direct neighbor has contributed 5 of those days playing from 11am to 7pm most days with one day them going from 11am-11pm and one day starting at like 8am. Really bass-y stuff. Another neighbor contributed a single day from like 6pm-10pm, no bass, pretty deal-able in general, but I've been dealing with the other neighbor so everything is stressing me out. And then last night, another neighbor started blaring tejano music around 6pm until about 11pm, pretty sure this neighbor is like 6 houses down and it sounded like they were right next door that's how loud it was. Life has been hell this past week. I had a couple of mental breakdowns and panic attacks, I'm hearing music when there is no music. We live outside of city limits so I have no recourse other than trying to sue them. I'm not particularly happy here anyway, so I'm happy to move... and I may still reach out to a lawyer regardless.

Call the police and make a noise complaint. Or even better, go to your neighbors and ask nicely if they could drop the volume down. You mention your mental woes, but you don't know what woes of their own they have that that music is helping them with, especially taking into account the current situation we're in right now.
