  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery

  1. I find it a bit disappointing that IGDB does not allow users to change their username, display name, and profile picture unlike over on Twitch. While such features might not seem important for a database site, adding such would benefit users who may not be comfortable continuing to use an identity they no longer go by. Providing such features, even in the form of just resyncing a user's Twitch account with their updated information, would also allow users to keep their karma score instead of having to start from scratch by making a whole separate account just to use a…

  2. There are multiple regional languages that aren't available as options when adding new localizations for a game.

    I'm Spanish, and in our country alone we have several smaller regional languages, some of which are in danger of becoming extinct - and none of them have any presence in IGDB yet.

    There are several initiatives that push for those languages to be brought into the modern era and, as such, many people are doing an enormous amount of work in order to localize as many games as possible to our languages, officially or otherwise.

    It would help us out a lot…

  3. All my "played" statuses disappeared from my list, and if I set them again now, they don't save.

  4. When using the "games" endpoint w/ the python igdb-api-v4 wrapper, the query used to get the age ratings covers (ESRB, PEGI, etc) should be "ageratings.ratingcover_url" but it never succeeds in providing the cover url, but it also never returns an error saying the information isn't available or that the query was structured wrong.

    Here's my full example I'm using (so far) that doesn't produce a result:

    # This is in python3
    wrapper.api_request(
            "games",
            'search "'
            + game_name
            + """\";
            f id, name, first_release_date, age_ratings.rating_cover_url, cover.url, platforms.name;
            limit 20; 
            where first_release_date != null;
            """
    

    All the other "data.thing"s work…

  6. Played the game? No = skip to next, Yes = rate and confirm to proceed to the next.
    I don't want to search one by one the 400 games i've played. If you guys can make it personalized based on games already rated, even better.

  7. Right now on Twitch, if you search for "Master of Orion", which is a 4-games franchise, you can't find the most recent one from 2016, because it shares the same name as the first one.

    Can you please fix this? Either call the new one "Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars", or add a (2016) at the end. Or rename the first one "Master of Orion I".

    That would fix it. Otherwise, can't find the most recent one.

    Thanks.

  8. Currently, there isn't an option to select Streets of Rage 3 as a playable game on Twitch. I was watching another streamer trying to select it today, but it wasn't available, so when others joined the stream, they were confused because they thought they were playing Streets of Rage 2, but in fact they had moved on to playing Streets of Rage 3.

  9. I did a quick advanced search of games, which I wanted to share with my freind. But the URL does not display any filtering. It would be cool if we could click share link and it would create a link I can give to him so it shows him my filtered list. The only work around I have is to screenshot the page and send him the image.

  10. Something something database? Why isn't this on the front page? Or the help page? It's not even in the terms of service, which are just Twitch's?

  11. Would be great to navigate the database of a Plataform letter by letter, like Gamefaqs website, is a chore to manually reach the page of a plataform if you are seeing the games starting with M for example.

    Thanks would be much appreciated!!

  14. The description for the Windham Classics "Wizard of Oz" C64 game from 1985 is wrong and is actually for the 1994 SNES game of the same name. It should say...

    "Based on the famous novel by L. Frank Baum, the Wizard of Oz places the player in the role of Dorothy Gale, who is transported by a cyclone to the magical world of Oz. Accompanied by her dog Toto, a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodman, and a Lion, she tries to find her way to the Emerald City, where she hopes the Wizard of Oz can help her find a way…

  15. I really don't like the way that IGDB completely closes a submission upon rejection and erases everything, requiring it to be recreated. Not being able to appeal an uninformed decision without having to redo work really sucks and discourages me from submitting content to the database. Sometimes, my submissions are removed without any given reason, and more often than not they're removed over something I could have easily provided a source/clarification for rather than having to rewrite everything.

    I would like to have the option of having a dialogue with an admin before a submission is obliterated from the site.

  16. So at the moment Wikia/Fandom is taking a lot of bad coverage due to being a toxic platform, housing a ton of ads, introducing AI and converting the website more into a social media hub than a wiki. With this, wikis are moving away from the platform either to start there own domains (like https://minecraft.wiki/) or switching to Wiki.gg as a web-hosting platform.

    Would it be possible to change the Wikia logo to a generalized wiki logo instead?

    Hello!

    Thank you for raising this, we've been discussing with our community on Discord as well that have raised similar concerns. 

    We're looking at expanding our coverage of wiki beyond specifically wikia or fandom. 

    We're currently researching to update our guidelines, and changes on the site (logos, wording) will be reflected accordingly. 

    Thanks!

  19. Now that twitch has the "view on IGDB" feature, the reverse of it will be really useful for both game devs as well as contributors. It will also help in finding if there is any issue in the one-to-one mapping.
