Colorblind accessibility and Colourblind inaccessibility 6% of males and ~0.4% females have color blindness. A good number of games feature a colorblind mode (Forza 5 for instance). Many don't and have nearly unplayable sections as a result.
When I'm looking for a game, one of my greatest concerns is with color-coded information. If it exists, I need to see it in action, and if it's red-green or any other combination that is a problem, I need to know if I can change it. If I can't change it, I'll usually pass.Some examples:
RTSs sometimes use red and green icons on minimaps - literally any…5 votesHello!
This is a great suggestion thank you! Actually the timing couldn't be more ideal, as we are in fact investigating how we could tackle accessibility data in games, which would cover Colour Blindness of course.
This might be a long process (no ETA unfortunately), but something we are very interested in indeed :)
Thank you!

Spoiler flag/warning for Storyline sections I often omit the endings of titles from the Storyline section to prevent posting spoilers, but I realize I'm not everyone. Generally I feel if people are just looking for more info on the game, why play it if you already know how it's going to turn out?
I'd love to see a section you could add or highlight sections of a plot in Storyline that might be best hiddened for new users, rather than a full block of the field.

Preset options for screenshot description It would be good to have some preset options for screenshot descriptions, like Alternative Names have (and still maintain the possibility of adding a custom description).
The main suggestions I have are:
- Title screen (I use this one all the time)
- In-game screenshot
- Main menu
- Opening screenshot
5 votesHi! We think this is a fantastic idea and follow the patterns we have for videos which indeed improves the consistency. We have made a ticket and will try to work on this as soon as possible. Thanks!

Add TI-84 Graphing Calculator as a platform The TI-84 Graphing calculator can play certain video games and some made exclusive for it. I don't see why it couldn't be on IGDB.

Follow attribute not returned The 'follow' attribute for a game is never returned from the API.
For example, I would expect the following query to return "follows": 466 (as per the website).fields name, follows, hypes;
where name ~ "last of us: part";
limit 10;Instead, I get:
"id": 26192,
"hypes": 325,
"name": "The Last of Us: Part II"5 votes

Hey there, we don’t actively support Follows (and Hype) as a data point. We need to update our documentation to reflect this, apologies.
Follow is part of the private endpoint we are sunsetting.

Exercise Theme Pretty arbitrary, but I have an issue finding another Theme that properly catagorizes titles like Wii Fit or Dance Dance Revolution

Personalized game recommendation to edit As means of promoting game editing, there could be a game recommendation for the user. It would be based on the game pages the user visited, the games the user rated, etc. A notification could appear on the website with the recommendation, and there could be a place in "Karma hunters" for some more recommendations.
It would certainly help with many more game info missing, as the person would be prompted to help with something they most probably know.5 votes -
Age Rating Range for Bundles Something that comes up with Collections and Bundles are Age Rating Ranges, where you'll have a packages with multiple games than vary in ratings.
Ex. Jak & Daxter Collection
ESRB: E - T5 votes -
Shmup (Shoot-'em-up) Genre This genre seems to me cross-categorized with many other genres. These types of games include Gradius, Raiden, 1942, Ikaruga, etc.

Listing of Extra Games Unlocked by In-game Achievements Titles contained within Collections and other Bundles can be listed as included by displaying links on the Game Page to each respective title's own page. However there is no current way to list titles unlocked as secrets from earning achievements or other various tasks in game.
Ex. Completing the Xbox release of House of the Dead III unlocks House of the Dead 2.

Wikipedia links with anchors (#) The Edit Game form doesn't allow inserting Wikipedia links with anchors. It cuts the link before #. Some games are on Wikipedia only in a section of another page, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_4_game_packs#Spa_Day.
I use the Wikipedia links to display localized game description in my app so I would need the links as precise as possible.

Alternative name types is limited to 20 There are currently 600 alias types (e.g. Alternative spelling or French title). However, only 20 is offered for selection in the edit form. Please add more. I mainly need Czech title but I think that all the languages should be in this list. This is the list of alias types with >=10 games and the number of games using them. Only those marked with * have their option in the edit form:
*25893 alternative title
*18902 stylized title
*9811 alternative spelling
4710 other
*4664 abbreviation
*4087 acronym
*3234 working title
*1865 french title
*1788 german title
1486 other alias

Fix the critics review system to better match the actual rating of a game Hi there! I'm pretty sure you are aware of this issue and that it might be the case for some years now (at least I found some Reddit threads from 5+ years ago discussing this issue with feedback from your team) but I couldn't find it here and its honestly bugging me a lot.
Your critics review score is completely skewed and therefore useless. This is mainly a big issue for me because currently GOG Galaxy is using IGDB to fetch data, including the critics score rating. When I sort my library by rating, I get games such as Mini…

Horror Category Would be nice to have a general category for horror games. There are a lot of horror games that don't have a category or have a dead one. I feel like having a general category for horror would make things easier for people. There's already a games+ demos, why not have specifics for game types.

Add Apple's tvOS as a platform Many games available through the Apple Arcade subscription service are available on tvOS, aka Apple TV. Horizon Chase 2, for example. They run natively on tvOS devices, and tvOS is a different operating system than iOS, so it should meet all the definitions of a platform.

Issue with Point Blank (2008) category on Twitch Hello Twitch Support Team,
I’ve encountered an issue when streaming the game Point Blank under the category Point Blank (2008) https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank-2008. The videos are not saved in this category, but instead appear under the Point Blank https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank category.
Could you please look into this and make sure that videos streamed in the Point Blank (2008) https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank-2008 category are correctly saved there?
Thank you very much for your help and support.

Please allow non-standard store links I understand the idea behind the current "Store link" system, but it does seem sad that you can't link to developers own websites, for example.
Nine Sols (https://www.igdb.com/games/nine-sols) has a bunch of links to the official store fronts, but no link to their own website (https://shop.redcandlegames.com/bundles/nine-sols-drm-free-bundle), which AFAIK is the only place to get the game DRM-free.
At a bare minimum I'd like to see a "Developer website"-field under "Store links", but a more robust solution would be to allow a list of "Other websites" or some such. But I understand that such a feature might…

Add Roku as a platform for games Roku has ~450 games on it developed specifically for it (proprietary language), and should be included as a platform. The games land somewhere between early iOS and flash games, while also having some ports of arcade and DOS classics (Prince of Persia, Galaga, Pacman, Tetris, etc). There are still games actively being released, some of which are exclusive to this platform.
