Platform Aliases (PS3, XB1, NGC, etc) When attempting to define a Platform for each title, especially with PlayStation anything, it can be alittle taxing to need to type out the full name of the platform for each entry. Unlike older platforms like "Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)" or "Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)", these platforms do not use their common abbreviations in the title.
Ex. "PlayStation 3" vs. "PlayStation 3 (PS3)"

We discussed this internally and yes absolutely this is required. We even already have the data for it (Platforms have Alternate Names) so we will look at including those into the platform search for release date contributions.
This is now in our backlog waiting to be prioritised.Very well spotted and excellent suggestion!

Add Game Logos Hey!
Seeing that there are already both screenshots, and Artworks it would be great to also be able to add game logos.
I make covers often from official artworks so I usually end-up downloading transparent logos at the same time anyway.Thanks!
10 votesHey! yes this is a great suggestion, we’ve definitely been wanting to expand our Game Media coverage with logos.
Especially for PressKits for example. -
Hide "dupe" games Hi!,
When searching for games, those with the "dupe" category could be hidden. In this way the results shown are cleaner.
5 votesHey!
Oh yes absolutely this is a big one we’ve been wanting to do. We have a full ‘archive’ solution planned that is awaiting engineering work.
We should be starting in this fairly soon.
Stay tuned! -
'Platforms' section not showing all added platforms two games are linked below where the listed 'Platforms' (near the top of the game page, below 'Genre') don't correspond with the full set of platforms in the Release Dates section.
in both instances the missing platforms are 'Mac' and 'Linux', don't know whether it's an issue specific to those platforms or merely coincidental.
of note is that one of these (Transistor) also has some platform information added on the Companies page, while the other (Nuclear Throne) does not.

Video Thumbnail Previews in Edit pages Unlike Screenshots, Video Submissions do not show a preview thumbnail before submitting an Edit. I have a number of times it seems my copy/paste didn't fire correctly and Ninja Gaiden gameplay videos ended up in a few titles (like Star Trek TNG Genesis), so I was unaware of the mistake until after the Edit was approved.

We don’t have an ETA for it yet but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we get around to it :)
Thanks!
