1. Abstract Theme

   I wasn't sure what to use for this and I think that's the point. Puzzle titles like Tetris, Pong, Breakout, and the like are very hard to define in terms of a Theme based on the choices available.

   An Abstract Theme might be the best case in these situations.

   Hi! We talked about adding this theme, and we all agreed that it's a good idea. We just have to write clear guidelines around it. We are looking to add this as soon as possible. Thanks!

2. Add More Classification Systems

   Currently only seven classification systems are supported, even though this may cover a "majority" of Classification Systems around the world, at least six classification systems are missing out and some are important to several cultures strict guidelines and customs,

   Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC - New Zealand)
   (https://www.classificationoffice.govt.nz/)

   The Film & Publications Board (FPB - South Africa)
   (https://www.fpb.org.za/)

   Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS - Indonesia)
   (https://igrs.id/)

   Game Software Rating Regulations (GSRR - Taiwan)
   (https://www.gamerating.org.tw/)

   General Authority for Visual and Audio Media (GCAM - Saudi Arabia)
   (https://www.gcam.gov.sa/pages/32)

   Entertainment Software Rating Association (ESRA - Iran)
   (https://esra.ircg.ir/)

   As listed above, two of these classification systems are used by countries that enforce or utilise parts of Shariah Law (Islamic Law), countries that include but are not limited to, Ghana, Egypt, Chad, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia (Eurasia), Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates and many more Middle-Eastern, Asian and African countries. I believe these should be added to help Islamic families and other families influenced by Shariah Law in their own countries and other countries that don't have Islamic law so they can uphold family values and their beliefs, both GCAM and ESRA have article/title search databases which will aid in finding classification ratings for popular video-games.

   The other classification systems listed above are common and some relatively new classification systems, the OFLC are very well known within Australia and New Zealand as the Classification System for New Zealand and has been around for almost two decades, GSRR is widely known as the Classification System of Taiwan, however due to its political nature I'm not sure how easy it would be to introduce as the others, IGRS is a much more recent addition to Indonesia which means it has newer titles but not many older titles and most likely none from pre-2010 and the FPB in South Africa is also somewhat recent but has classifications for modern video games.

   I believe these six classification systems will help aid the IGDB Website and add more depth and inclusivity between countries, communities and beliefs, not to mention there isn't much difference between having these classification systems than having CERO, GRAC and CLASSIND.

   Hi and thank you for your suggestion. These would be interesting to add in the future, but before we do that we want to make sure that we have a good coverage of the ratings that we recently added. After that, we can look into adding more. Thank you!

3. Ratings for games are not shows in 'grid' view

   In 'list' view rating are shown

4. 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 eventually

   I don't know the best way to present these buttons on the game pages. For example, when you click the "Played" button, then maybe multiple options will be shown and want you to pick the status of that (the ones I described above), or perhaps those 3 buttons can be added next to the Want and Playing buttons and remove the "Played" button. Even beaten/completed could be different options. Many statuses to think about. Either way, it would be super cool to be able to select the type of "played".

5. 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
     https://youtu.be/Xs0yQKI7Yw4

   • What Happun? series
     https://youtu.be/x3JYev-4lOc

   • Top Hat Gaming: Renegade/River City Ransom/Kunio-kun
     https://youtu.be/sQJIJygpI1c

   Hey!
   Yes good suggestion! We do have plans for revisiting our Lust feature, including the default lists. We can definitely take this in consideration once we return to this.

   Thanks!
