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.

Having More Options Under the Umbrella of "Played" I think the "Want" and "Playing" options are good as they can get, but when it comes to "Played", I think it should be more than that.
* There are games that I've beaten and/or completed
* There are games that I started to play, but then I stopped playing and won't get back
* There are games that I started to play, and took a break from, but I'm planning to get back to them eventuallyI don't know the best way to present these buttons on the game pages. For example, when you click the "Played" button, then…

Game icon There's already a request for logos and I would like to add this request for icons, like the ones used for the game shortcuts.
It is common for computer games to have them, and some other platforms have icons of the games in some places (like on the memory card management system).2 votes -
Game Documentary/History Video Type Categories While this may need a bit of oversight, there are some extremely good examples of documentaries or historical breakdowns of game releases and/or even controversies. These are topics that are not generally covered in the official trailers or dev logs, or even gameplay videos. These videos can lay out a history of why some titles are cancelled, or overhauled, or have a troubled history outside of the game itself.
Examples:
Noclip's FFXIV 1.0 to A Realm Reborn Documentary

Copy Details from parent game If you make a version, or port of the game, the majortiy of things like categorization, series, cover are likely to be the same. It actually deters people from creating new versions by not providing a function like this as a template

How it's Going? Feedback...
Have been using the site for a few weeks to compile release lists. There are some pros and cons to consider vs Metacritic and other sources.
Games are frequently missing from search and upcoming releases. These tend to be smaller titles such as Vincemus - Air Combat (a WWII aerial combat game on Steam that at time of writing has sub100 followers according to Steamdb.)
Other titles have missing platform associations, such as Catie in Meowmeowland which was missing PS4/5 and Xbox O/S/X, and similarly Weird West was assigned last gen PS4 and next gen Xbox S|X but missing…2 votes -
Suggest Games Based on What Friends are Playing I would like to get suggestions based on what my friends are currently playing. Just a section that says what my friends are playing, not the whole discover thing.

search games by a specific day right now you can see games in a specific month or a specific year. But you can't search by a exact day regardless what year, like today in history in mobygames https://www.mobygames.com/stats/this-day. I think you have all the data, just need add some buttons. Thanks.

Ghost "played" game I submitted a game prologue, which was rejected because it was a demo.
However, I marked that game as "played" before it was rejected. Now, I have a ghost "played" game, whose existence is given away by the game count.
I would like to be able to remove that "ghost" game from the list, but it is not visible in the list, and I don't know its IGDB ID, so I cannot forge an API request to remove it from the list.
A simpler fix would be NOT to count "ghost" games when counting the number of games in a…

Pending Cover Art placeholder image I actually like the new placeholder image for missing covers on entries, however, the same image will show for pending uploads to new covers while the system caches the preview. This can be confusing to new users that don't understand they simply need to wait for their submission to upload before it displays. A separate "preview pending" image would help to communicate this to new users.

Prototype datatype There are many games that ended up becoming a different game, or with prototypes so different from the official release that deserve a main entry in the database, but now there's no right way to link them (the datatypes now don't match this description, and the versions are likely to be used only to editions). A few wxamples:
EarthBound 64 / Mother 3
Gimmick Land / Tomato Adventure
Donkey Kong Racing / Sabreman Stampede
Rayman SNES / Rayman2 votes -
Link publishers and release dates I'd like a way to link releases and publishers. For instance, a game might have been published by Midway in North America and Taito in Japan. Right now there's no way to distinguish such information, and both appear as publishers with no additional information. Also, a game might have been published by different companies at different times on the same platform - this would also be helpful to be able to differentiate.

import your exported data IGDB have ability to export your data, which is greate, and it would be nice to have a way to import this exported data back to your account.
2 votesHey there!
Could you clarity what do you mean by data in this case, is it to do with the lists and ratings in particular?
Curious to learn more about such a use case, is there a particular need to re-upload the exported CSV or Excel document rather than use the website?
Thanks!

Hi!
Could you give us more information what you mean in this case? By status do you mean adding a new one along side Alpha, Beta, Early Access, Cancelled etc..?
If so how would you define Dropped, it sounds like it would be similar to cancelled, as in the development has been in definitely put on hold.
Thanks!

The ability to link Gamejolt with your games The ability to link a gamejolt.com page with your games since most of my games are on Gamejolt and i'd like to make categories for them
2 votesHi!
We looked into this and we thought that indeed adding Gamejolt might be a good fit. This has been added to our backlog and we’ll take a look at it when we can.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Wikidata Add Wikidata item related to the game. Wikidata links to IGDB and this could be a way for IGDB to link back to Wikidata.
