  1. (Just committing suicide with time here as nothing I say will ever matter, as logic has no value & intelligent lives do not matter but here we go):

    Crpyto & NFT = AO rating = no category on twitch: (Makes no sense)

    Twitch allows a streamer to label their streams 18+ so there is no logical reason to remove a game like Big Time, (AO rated while having no nudity or blood) as a streaming category from twitch!

    I see this as age discrimination: adults do not have any rights to be adults on twitch.

    Shouldn't parents be responsible for…

  2. The website shows that the company that developed Windows XP was Microsoft, but the API says it was the company "128". Interestingly, 128 is Microsoft's id in the API. I believe there is a bug in the return of information.

    Microsoft data from API
    https://api.igdb.com/v4/companies

    fields id, name, description;
    where id = 128;

    Windows XP data from API
    https://api.igdb.com/v4/platform_versions

    fields id, companies.*, companies.company.name, companies.company.slug, name, slug, summary, checksum;
    where name = "Windows XP";

  3. Similarly like games show "Game ID" it would be nice to have "Event ID" on the event detail.

    For example: https://www.igdb.com/events/nintendo-direct-3-dot-27-dot-2025

    I am not able to find the ID anywhere, since for my use case only these "Direct events" are relevant, I need to call the endpoint and find the ID there.

  4. When clicking on the link to a Developer or Publisher from a Game page they are connected to, it would be good if the page displayed the corresponding list of games they developed/published (in the section currently under the timeline).

    Right now, if you were to click on a Publisher from a Game page, it would by default show all games they have developed in that list, needing an extra click to show their list of published games.

  5. Hello! I'm new to this site. I've only been using it for a very short time, but I already consider it the best in its category. That said, a few key additions would make creating my lists much easier.

    The first and most obvious would be the addition of a pagination system. Second, and I believe this is the most important, an option in the "advanced search" to filter by main game, DLCs, mods, etc. would be extremely helpful.

    Lastly, a simple dark mode setting would greatly improve the site's visual experience.

  6. Hey all! Just reaching out about a home page typo on IGDB like so:
    "Recent Critics Reviewes"
    Noticed this on IGDB mobile, which I'm not sure is relevant but I also wasn't sure where to share this. Thanks for all your work!

  7. IGDB needs a staff/cast/credits sections for each game, like IMDB, so devs can add themselves to projects they worked on with their roles and people don't need to look up the credits on youtube each time they want to check (which can be not enough because sometimes people go uncredited, or are not properly credited inside the game). That opens the door to dev pages, also in the style of IMDB, having, for example, a Shigeru Miyamoto page that lists all the games he worked on and his roles automatically

  8. So with the rise of video game recompilations and decompilations, we've begun to see unofficial PC ports of titles previously exclusive to consoles. Currently a game can only be categorized as a port if it's officially made but these unofficial ports have to be classified as "mods" which doesn't really accurately describe what it is. I'd like to see unofficial port added to game categories to more accurately categorize recompilations and decompilations. Some examples include but aren't limited to the Ocarina of Time PC port, the Super Mario 64 PC port and the recently released Sonic Unleashed recompilation, Unleashed Recompiled…

  9. Your page for the game I Cannot Drown simply has it described as "a Yume Nikki fangame with 11 effects". I'm aware that blurb is on the game's itch.io page, but the creator already has a better description for the game right above it: "Your name is Ume. You are in a world. It is a familiar yet unknown world. Stretch your legs and go for a walk."

    It is a bit vague in terms of game descriptions but it's far better than just being called a fangame. If that isn't good enough, I'll gladly come up with one that…

  10. Accessed from Amazon Games platform, using a PC. Exccutioner intro. Had built the prison with a few cells. Hired an executioner. Got message that Elf cells were unlocked. Had clicked on a downed enemy to see race. Your tutorial for the executioner snaped in. There was a green arrow pointing at nothing. Could not exit the prisoner to follow the on screen prompt to select a prisoner.

  11. Generic Pinball game/category for IRL pinball games which has a very active community.

    There are two currently that are linked to old games.

    Pinball https://www.igdb.com/games/pinball
    Pinball https://www.igdb.com/games/pinball--1

    I tried to modify one of these (because it is really unused) and the change was denied.

    Can we get a generic IRL Pinball game/category?

  12. I am using the IGDB API to retrieve game information and have encountered an issue with the ReleaseDate table. According to the documentation, it should include a status (or statusId) field related to ReleaseDateStatus. However, when making a request for all fields in ReleaseDate, this field is missing from the API response.

  13. Right now if the game has multiple versions released in the same year, it's impossible to distinguish them without clicking on every single one.
    Adding some info about the platforms this specific version was released on will improve UI usability, and also will reduce an amount of user requests because you don't need to open 10 pages just to find 1 specific you need.
    I know I can click "See all results", but it would be nice if we could skip this step.

  14. Just as there are abbreviations and aliases for English titles, there are also abbreviations and aliases in other languages.
    For example,
    in Japanese, the subtitle for Wizardry V is "災渦の中心" for the SFC and "災禍の中心" for the PS1.
    They are very similar, but the difference is "渦" and "禍".
    As an abbreviation,
    "機動戦士ガンタム ギレンの野望" is sometimes referred to as "ギレンの野望" because "ギレンの野望" has been made into a series.

  16. Hi IGDB Team,

    I noticed that with the recent update, the radar chart (spiderweb chart) showing my genre distribution stats (e.g., how many adventure games I’ve played compared to action, RPG, etc.) has been removed. I found this feature super valuable and fun—it gave great insights into my gaming habits at a glance.

    I wanted to kindly request if you would consider bringing it back in a future update. It was a unique and engaging way to visualize data, and I’m sure many other users also enjoyed it.

    Thank you for your time, and keep up the great work!

    Best…

  18. This could be good, a another attribute/property in the games about the license.

    For example: Minetest is under LGPL, Tux Racer is under GPL...

    I want to filter the games by free software or open source.

  20. Hey, where is GTA V Enhanced (nextgen for PC) in IGDB? Few days passed after its announce and the game is still not added to the db. Definitely should be fixed as it's one of the most anticipated releases in the nearest future.
