Allow Users to Pick Their Preferred Cover Art Simple as. While they should adhere to guidelines, users should be able to opt for which box art they prefer on IGDB. Doing so would not only be preferable for some who prefer some art over another, but would also fleshen out the Database by letting users see which artwork corresponds to which region.
77 votesHeya!
There’s absolutely a need for multiple covers as a data point, we hear you :) Let’s clarify what this could mean in the near future:
One thing that we are currently looking at is expanding data for Localization, and covers are an obvious fit for this. However it’s worth pointing that Localized cover and additional cover might not mean the same thing. For example offering the Japanese specific cover doesn’t mean having multiple variant for it (different artworks, logo style, dimensions etc..).
We will start with Localization, which will help provide API users more options for their own communities. And as a second step from there we would begin looking at how to offer multiple variant of a single regional cover so that users may pick & choose.
Hope this helps!

DLC View I think IGDB should borrow the "All DLC page" from Steam.
So, on a page that has lots of DLC, say
Snowrunner - https://www.igdb.com/games/snowrunner (12 DLC)
or
Euro Truck Sim 2 - https://www.igdb.com/games/euro-truck-simulator-2 (11 DLC)A page should be added say https://www.igdb.com/games/euro-truck-simulator-2/dlc
Which has a layout simial to https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/1465360/SnowRunner/#browse
So a vertical list of all the DLC's with the box art and the summary (maybe the website links along side)
Then you can more easily see all the DLC without having to use the arrows to navigate the list.
This can also help karma hunters to easily revise/update data on…

Making the original Shiren category available on Twitch The remake of work, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (IGDB ID: 78341, NDS Shiren) appears on Twitch, but the original, Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Furai no Shiren (IGDB ID: 103496, original Shiren), is registered with IGDB but does not appear on Twitch. NDS Shiren is not just a port, it's a completely new remake, and there's no way original Shiren can be broadcast under the NDS Shiren category.
Twitch shows other remakes, but why doesn't it show Shiren? The reason may be that it's considered an alternative to other games, as shown on the following page.

Owned Games List An option to add owned games and when you add a bundle their games are added to the list of owned games. Games should have a subcategory in the list preview for DLC's and extras, not a game entity. This would make a list readable for the user.

Upcoming games should have the "Played" and and "Playing" option available I don't thing it's a good thing that you greyed out the options to add an upcoming game as "Played" or "Playing". Many of these games have demos or betas available to try them and we won't be able to track them.

Merging a few redundant game categories I've come across a few videogame categories that should be merged together. First are duplicate categories for the same game:
- "Digimon Battle" and "Digimon RPG" are the same game, the latter being the title of the current English release.
- "Digimon World 2003" and "Digimon World 3" refer to the same game; the title change was a region difference. Should merge and rename to "Digimon World 3 / Digimon World 2003".
- There are two categories named "Digimon" when I search for them, one with a cover and one without, not sure if that's a bug or something that needs to be…

Pagination Failures I'm experiencing an issue where the maximum number of objects allowed by the "limit" property isn't being returned, despite that number of objects existing.
Consider this query:
{baseUrl}/games
body (text/plain): fields name,cover.imageid,firstrelease_date,platforms.name;limit: 10;offset: 30;search "halo";It's currently only returning 9 objects, but a search on IGDB.com reveals that there are 73 total and other queries (e.g., offset 40;) give 10 results as expected.

Change cover art for "Unreal" (1998) Hello!
The game "Unreal" (1998) has this edited Scabbard album cover (1996) as a picture for its the Twitch category. This has caused confusion in the past whether the category is actually for the game or not. It may also infringe some copyright laws regarding the album cover. Is there any way you can update it to a relevant picture? There are a few box art covers and other official artwork you can use instead of what seems to be a fanmade edit.
1 voteHello,
Could you clarify which game you are referring to.
This Unreal 1998? https://www.igdb.com/games/unreal
Thank you

[Mockup included] Enable the viewing and creation of ratings from within a list Make the rating stars on the game page visible from the game's position on a list so that it can be rated without having to open a new page for every single game.
Here's a mock-up in list view:
https://imgur.com/a/W80TFQUFor grid view, a similar approach to letterboxd's database could be taken:
https://imgur.com/a/tsu3JO6This website has a much more robust database than IMDB, but it has a huge disadvantage in how much slower it is to make ratings.
Having to go to each games individual page to make a rating is extremely tedious, especially for new database users who have…

Allow fetching of game rating breakdown Allow fetching detail rating breakdowns; ie the data that drives the below image on the website;
https://www.igdb.com/games/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/rating_breakdown.svg
The level of detail presented in the chart is sufficient, ie, number of ratings at each level of ratings, example output below;
{
"ratings": [
{
"ratingname": "Superb",
"ratingcount": 10,
"ratingvalue": 10
},
{
"ratingname": "Great",
"ratingcount": 100,
"ratingvalue": 9
},
{
"ratingname": "Good",
"ratingcount": 1000,
"ratingvalue": 8
},
{
"ratingname": "etc",
"ratingcount": 120,
"ratingvalue": 7
}
]
}Other note: underscores for italic formatting is annoying. :)
