Heya!
Update on this, we identified one possible issue which is that unlike PC stores, most console links are region specific.
So we’re investigating how we could either generalised them or whether we’d introduce this when we tackle localization of IGDB.

Looks like the PlayStation Store finally has universal URLs that work for every region.
Although there are some caveats, first the store seems to redirect you to the new universal URLs whenever it feels like it?I managed to do it with Dying Light 2 (US store), but then the store stopped doing it? And redirect me to the old URL...
So far the only games I have found to always redirect you to the new URLs are the Persona 3 & 4 remasters.
Although there's a method to get the new URL manually for any game.
• In Chrome press F12 to inspect the page's code.
• And search (Ctrl+F) for "Concept:"
• A number should be next to "Concept:XXXXXX", in Dying Light 2 case being "232374".
• Now paste that number here:
https://store.playstation.com/concept/HEREAnd the store will redirect you to that game page for your store's region.
I tried with the japanese store and seems to work too.Dying Light 2:
https://store.playstation.com/concept/232374 (Universal Link)
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/232374 (US)
https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/concept/232374 (JP)elDexterr

Hi there! We couldn't agree more that we need something to differentiate official and unofficial content and we've been discussing for a while how we can do that. We are currently investigating ways forward to make sure that when we do this, it's done correctly. Thanks for the great suggestion!

Hey! we had a chat about this internally and landed on the fact it could become problematic, so we wanted to double check your suggestion in more details.
How would we define the order within a series? As this could be seen either as chronologically by release, or by story.For example, MGS3 being the first one in the story, yet the 3rd one by release date. This could prove very divisive either way.
Another issue that could be problematic are differences in the order by region. Final Fantasy is an infamous case, where FFVI was released as FFIII in North America for example.
Was this the sort of approach you had in mind with such a feature? Let us know :)

That is absolutely correct, and the right way to have in the long term.
It is however a very complex and time consuming engineering project, and has been postponed due to priority and need to have basis.That we’ll eventually tackle it is likely, but not in the near future.

Hey! This is not a bad idea, however it is going to be a bit hard to do that with our current set up for statuses. We are worried that it might cause confusion for some contributors that are working on games or adding games that are between stages where "in development" and "released" won't apply. So we would need to think about how to expand this feature carefully before taking action. We will investigate further on this topic. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion, there’s some good opportunity there indeed.
We have plans (and needs) to redo how we handle companies, but we also need to rethink how Follows are handled. Right now even follows on game page are underused in terms of potential.
Definitely to be put in consideration when we revisit Companies. Thanks!

Hey! Excellent suggestion, in fact we have something very similar in our Backlog already, with a ‘inherit data from parent’ feature.
It’s just at an idea stage for now, but we’ll look into planning in in accordance with our roadmap as soon as possible.
Cheers!elDexterr

Heya! Thank you for the honest feedback, it does mean a lot and we totally understand such frustrations. I can add some context on where IGDB is at the moment, but first i can say that it is absolutely still our plan to return to the website development and just like you the team is very eager to improve on the potential it has :)
An acquisition is a complex matter from an engineering perspective, from months prior the public announcement we had set deadlines to migrate infrastructure, services, security systems etc.. to align with our new teams. That took significant time and effort, during which we had to put development of the website on hold beyond basic maintenance (unfortunately). Once done we decided to focus on growth of our core product as a database. Which is why the main product updates we made have been around our contributing users,…

Heya! This could indeed be interesting, however there’s a lot of possible legal investigation to look into when it comes to music copyrights.
In the short term it’s hard to say how we could approach this. Long term we of course would love to expand our data and game info with music, sounds like an obvious fit!

Heya!
Our end credits is one of the oldest feature we have on the site and indeed could use some additional improvements.
Unfortunately this isn’t currently planned to revisit it in the short term.We do however intend to explore ways to differentiate game developers from regular users which could also help such use cases.
Thanks!

Maybe putting IGDB checks if that game has a Japanese only release date added to redirect you to the "ja-jp" link?
And to do the same when that game has a release only for region in specific?
Maybe it's too complicated and isn't
really worth it to implement 🤔
