Add chapters of games Many games have chapters, which could be listed here potentially alongside a time to beat for each chapter since games can have 30 minute chapters or 2 hour chapters. This would help people get general ideas of where they are in the game, or simply compare playtime by chapter.

Versions of Sonic the Hedgehog When trying to tag my stream as the game Sonic the Hedgehog (the 2006/2007 game for Xbox 360 and PS3), it is impossible to tag in any list or drop down, be it Twitch, Twitch Studio, OBS, Streamlabs, etc. I see that the game is on IGDB, so why doesn't the game ever show up?

Platform_Version missing on platform-version-release-dates A user wanted to sort the release dates of platform versions by date and get the name of the version. But could not since platform-version-release-dates field platform_version is missing.
Example query:
https://api.igdb.com/v4/platform_version_release_dates
fields *, platform_version.name; sort date desc; limit 500;Expected: A sorted list of platform version release dates and the name of the platform version name
Actual: A sorted list of platform version release dates without the platform version data.

I created list called playing and set it to private. Turns out this was reserved name for special list. Well now my playing list is private and I can't change it.

Differentiating Titles with Identical Names in Menus This is only a minor pet-peeve and super conditional, but there are times when Titles with the same name are released in the same year. This makes it fairly difficult to differentiate titles from each other when you are adding titles into various lists in the Edit menus. (Bundled Games, Versions, etc.) Most of the time you will see a year of the release in these menus, but there are examples of different versions released in the same year.
I will sometimes add the platform to the title of a game to help this, but this isn't the cleanest look…

Game image catalog naming convention as altenative titles Some of the games don't get results through the API because the names used by ROM (and other game images) documenting organizations have some rules that don't apply to IGDB's main title rule.
Some of them:
If the title starts with an article, it goes to the end of the title. (Legend of Zelda, The)
If there is a non-standard character, like slashes, quotes, etc, they are removed.
The Japanese naming scheme uses double vowels instead of singles ones.It would be good to have as an alternative title option something like: "Alternative title - No-Intro Naming Convention".
I'm pretty…

Game and platform icon For games and platforms there could be an icon imagem, of small size, which could be used as a visualization flair on the website and also as a data point for the API, as applications could use them to their UIs.

Game list missing from some company pages On a number of company pages, the game list does not appear, and games associated with the company can only be viewed within the timeline element (which does not display games without a release date, and is slow to reflect updates). This issue seems prevalent among company pages with relatively few games, although that might not be the direct cause.
Examples:
https://www.igdb.com/companies/cecile-richard
https://www.igdb.com/companies/d3t-limited
https://www.igdb.com/companies/kitty-horrorshow

Popularity attribute not functional The current popularity value for a game doesn't make any sense.
Please see below examples showing the popularity value with the hypes, and number of user ratings."id": 115278,
"hypes": 1,
"name": "Rune Factory 4 Special",
"popularity": 2090.622837928576"id": 120268,
"name": "Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition",
"popularity": 1431.973719413489As you can see, the top 2 games by popularity both have 0 user ratings. How can these be the most popular games on IGDB?
The docs say 'The popularity number is calculated using usage statistics of game pages at https://www.igdb.com' which can't possibly be true if these games are at the…

We’re not currently supporting popularity unfortunately, the existing hypes in the API are out of date and therefore out of sync, which is very likely why you’re getting those games as results.
We will be updating our documentation to reflect this, but meanwhile we recommend not using Popularity since it isn’t providing an accurate count.

3DTV support Not a fan personally, but it might be worth documenting with a simple Yes/No Checkbox.
Ex. Jak & Daxter Collection PS3, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, etc.

Enrich owned game data Currently it is possible to add a status to each game entry of the database, which doesn't make sense sometimes: it should be possible to select which "version" of the game the user own and, separately, the status of the game.
I might own a specific "edition" of a game (e.g. deluxe, collector, goty, etc...) but I am not playing the specific edition, I'm playing the game which is the same regardless the edition I own.
Similar thing happens (especially) with bundles, as I own a bundle but I might (probably) have different status for each game of the bundle.1 vote -
Add Reboot of for series It would be nice to distinguish between spin-offs and reboot.
Just saw the "new" Tomb Raiders are under the series "Tomb Raider: Survivor" instead of the original Tomb Raider, which make sense; what doesn't make sense is that this series is tagged as a spin-off of the original, while it is actually a reboot of the Tomb Raider series.Imho, spin-offs is are series like Mana or Kingdom Hearts for Final Fantasy series, or standalone titles like Dirge of Cerberus for Final Fantasy VII.
Which leads to the need of distinguish between series spin-off/reboot and standalone spin-offs.1 vote -
Add more fields for owned games It would be nice to have the possibility to add additional information when adding a game to own lists such as:
format (physical or digital);
purchase date and price;
started and finished date (multiple times for multiple playtroughs).
But, more importantly, the possibility to track individually different versions of the game; I might have completed a game on a platform, finished on another and playing on another one.1 vote -
Market value It would be nice to have a market value field for the games.
When looking for a game we do not own, it would be nice to understand how much it would cost to get it.
It's easier for newer games as they're available in stores, but for old games available only by second hand it would be nice to have an idea of the average market price (maybe looking at platforms like eBay or similar).1 vote -
Achievement/Trophy data Add the information about the game achievements/trophies.
I know there are dozen of websites doing it, but today it is to be considered a fundamental information of a game release.
We might argue about the possibility for the users to track the obtained one, but a list of available attainments should be displayed on a game entry.1 vote -
When a game a lot of supported languages it can cut off the Interface language section When a game has a lot of supported languages, for example https://www.igdb.com/games/cats-of-the-qing-dynasty, it cuts off the Interface options because the height of that section is set to 50vh, removing it or setting it to min-height: 50vh should fix that issue and allow people to (easily) add/remove interface languages

API doesnt return version_parent or version_title I cannot seem to get versionparent or versiontitle fields back as my query returns a bunch of the same games and I am assuming it is a version thing like if I can filter by the main game only. I have even tried where parent_game = null and it doesnt seem to do anything
