Hi there! If you want more articles to work on like you did with TigerShark, I have started many stub articles in similar condition as how you found it! If you would like recommendations I would be happy to give you some. Any particular publishing era or genre, or...? BOZ (talk) 11:21, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! It's nice to see a fellow user on here! Basically my current approach is accessing the Internet Archive and National Library of Australia to access lost and unrecorded reviews of the Australian publication PC PowerPlay, and archiving the reviews and scores chronologically through the issues from its first available issues in 1996. That said, I'm always happy to help out in other ways too, and have found I've fleshed out a few pages using many other sources online. If you have started working on stubs particularly from PC games in the mid to late 90s, I'll most certainly be able to cross-reference and flesh them out with the magazines I'm working with. If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know too! Thanks :) Vrxces (talk) 11:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK sounds good, I will get you a short list of those in the most need of improvement, and you can pick and choose which ones you want to work on.  :) BOZ (talk) 14:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I started the majority of my video game work on Next Generation magazine, adding articles for games that were missing (which is how you found TigerShark and apparently also NBA Full Court Press last month), and adding reviews to articles which already existed. the first 12 issues were published in 1995, so I'm not sure if that is too early for you. For the first issue for example, I created John Madden Football (1994 video game), PaTaank, PGA Tour Golf 486, Battlecorps, and The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO. Or should I jump ahead a bit and see what else there is? I started even more than that for the second issue, and you can see that of those Burning Soldier and Doctor Hauzer have both been built up very nicely already.  :) BOZ (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Vrxces. I notice in the PC PowerPlay See Also section, that there was a sister magazine Hyper (magazine). This may be of interest to you. All the best, MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:35, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! Thank you! I'm encountering a lot of Hyper reviews when I am creating articles or furnishing out review sections. Whilst my method doesn't really lend itself to trawling through the physical copies like I'm doing at the library with PC Powerplay, I am relying a lot on the Internet Archive to find other sources, and Hyper reviews turn up in a lot of what I'm doing. If there's anything I can do to help with your online projects, let me know! Vrxces (talk) 08:21, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I noticed that you nominated this article for GA status. However, it seems like it is mostly about the projects the company worked on, not the actual company. Notability is not inherited, so putting a bunch of games together does not mean the creators of said games is notable. I would consider a WP:SPLIT to Doom (1995 video game) for most of the information stated here or moving it back to List of Doom ports. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:39, 16 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Vrxces, I noticed your contributions to video game articles. Thank you for your edits. I see you're a fairly new (registered) editor and there are some minor errors you've made. I just went over Pocket Music. Let's take a look at the diff:

• Genres, musical genres or video game genres, aren't written in capital letters
• There's WP:OVERLINKing, if for instance Game Boy Color is linked in a paragraph, the next time it's mentioned you don't have to link to it. The overlinking comes back in the reception section
• Titles, like video games, TV series or albums are written in italics, while songs and episodes are written with apostrophes
• It's odd to write "of note"; if it wasn't notable we wouldn't include it in an article, right? It comes off as WP:EDITORIAL
• I moved the bit in the 'legacy' section to development. Legacy is tricky, but mostly I just ask myself "what effect had this game on gaming in general?" So if another video game developer mentions it as inspiration or a RS considers it to be influential, that's legacy. That source code was leaked online isn't legacy in my eyes
• We link to articles when it's necessary to do so, based upon the subject matter. In video game articles, we link to video game terms; for articles on linguistics, it makes sense to link to the word "the" for instance. To link to North America as a release region is unnecessary: we can assume the average reader generally knows what that is

Minor errors, nothing to worry about. Hope this help you in future editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, and happy editing. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:20, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! Thank you for your very thoughtful advice as a result of copyediting the page Pocket Music - I really appreciate the time you've spent providing guidance!

I agree with your advice - the key take-away for me is definitely that there are more conventional approaches to linking to other articles when drafting. That's a great reminder.

This page looks like it had a few revisions after creation, so some suggestions and the "of note" phrasing seems to have come out of nowhere. What a strange addition!

Thanks again - if you have any video game projects you're looking for assistance with - let me know! Vrxces (talk) 03:36, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Vrxces, you're very welcome and thank you for you work. Also my apologies, I should've checked to see if there were others who have edited it as well.

Hi Vrxces, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TheSandDoctor ^Talk 18:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mary-Kate and Ashley: Winners Circle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Equestrian.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This draft is for a title that was previously an article, but was then cut down to a redirect. If this draft is accepted, the history should be preserved. Do not tag the redirect for G6.

Reviewers should check the history and verify whether there was a consensus to cut the article down to a redirect, or whether the action was taken boldly without discussion. If there was a consensus for the cutdown, do not accept this draft without verifying that the draft improves the article or that consensus has changed. If in doubt, please discuss.

This draft is a draft on a subtopic of an existing article, Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Discussion as to whether a separate article for the subtopic is warranted should be on the talk page of the parent article, Talk:Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

Please discuss the suitability of creating a separate subtopic article on the talk page of the parent article. Please resubmit this draft if there is rough consensus at the parent talk page to create the child article, or with an explanation that the child draft satisfies either general notability on its own or a special notability guide.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pokémon Crystal and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Classified Xbox Gameplay.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 01:49, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Catch The Sperm Main Menu.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Rinse and Repeat Gameplay.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 11:50, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, i appreciate that you need a citation for the claim regarding Steam, but such a thing is simply not citable in a way that complies with the rules, yet it is something that needs to be mentioned because it is a known fact that there are many users who have used the steam version, found problems, bought it again from GoG and had no such issues, despite the builds being the same. It is something I have personally seen for years, thanks to GamerZakhs’ community where this is mentioned over and over. The citation i provided is not to user reviews, but to discussion posts on the forum of the game. The game is also super old and doesn’t get any official support, so expecting an official source is a bit pointless: some common sense could be applied here imo. :) — CitroenLover (talk) 22:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Vrxces. I noticed that your recent edit to Backfirewall added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images.

I went ahead and did some tidying on it, and removed the Vietnamese version section (it feels very out of place and not much was said to indicate any legacy for the thing). All the refs should have an accessdate now too. I think it's good to go for GAN if you're up for that. Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cheers, really appreciate all your help in clearing up the article. I've come a long way in terms of editing so thanks for filling in the editing gaps on some of my older writing. I was hands off on the Crystal page following the protracted and messy demerge debate - it looks like the Vietnamese section was added interim and agree it's not a notable aspect of the game; perhaps it was once suggested to be merged with the Crystal article. I have a GAN up for The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal but will progress Crystal as the next GAN I work on following that. Thanks again :) ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:26, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Vrxces, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Hi Vrxces. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 04:06, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article Agony of a Dying MMO has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Author deletion - article is non-notable based on lack of reliable secondary sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi!

You've left a comment on my draft of Buckshot Roulette stating that a 3rd secondary source with significant coverage is needed (alongside Polygon and Rock, Paper, Shotgun) for notability. I was wondering why the mxdwn Games (reference 1), BNN Breaking (ref 4), and GameTyrant (ref 5) don't qualify as such? I've also added two others (Windows Central and Playstation Universe), could you let me know if these are sufficient? Sorry for the hassle, this is my first article.

Thank you! Cloud 223 (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No worries, I can explain. The threshold for making an article is determined by notability. Notability is defined by the general notability guidelines, which generally requires significant coverage from reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. There's no formal standard, but it's generally accepted that WP:THREE reliable sources of significant coverage establishes notability. For articles about video games, there are an accepted list of sources in WP:VG/S that can help define what is reliable. Things outside of this list are not necessarily reliable or unreliable but merit greater caution. It's common practice for pages on video games to demonstrate notability through reviews, as these sources will have independent views on the game and go beyond simply restating the information provided by the developer.

On notability at the current point, I think the Windows Central article provides additional assessment of the game that gets it across the line. If you were looking for where to take this article next, check out the WP:MOS and video games articles listed as good articles. The first thing that stands out is that the article lacks information about the content of reviews, so the 'reception' section isn't quite doing what it should be. The it's gritty and industrial visuals are in contrast with the latter's mythical tone is not quite WP:NPOV and I'd probably move that to what the source actually said about it. But otherwise great work so far.

If this is your first article, congrats! If it's resubmitted to AfC I'll pass it through now. If it's not I'll wait until you do it. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you!

I tried rephrasing the sentence about the visuals for a more neutral POV, and I included that multiple sources praised the item system in the game in the reception section, alongside the ratings and spread of the game. Should I resubmit now or does it need more work? Cloud 223 (talk) 01:02, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yep - it's good for a resubmission! AfC isn't a vehicle for me to micromanage the article - so long as it demonstrates notability it's good. Thanks for making the edits. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 01:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon and Talk:The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

@Vrxces: Hey! I'm planning on making an article on all Lego Ninjago games, probably like one or two paragraph each game, ranging from 2011 to 2020. It will be excluding all web games, only mobile/pc/console games. Now, I need help to decide what the title of the article would be, and whether you think the idea is notable. If yes, could you give me a link to a similar article? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for reaching out! I think a Lego Ninjago (video game series) article would be the appropriate title. Given there's a Lego Ninjago article with a video game subsection already, the notability of the article really depends on two things: (1) whether there's significant coverage of the series as a whole (i.e. not just about the individual works); and (2) whether there's so many games or details about the series that covering it under the Lego Ninjago page would be inappropriate. It is a bit unusual because there's three levels of categorisation: it's a video game series based on a broader series of a product. I'm sure the individual games are notable though and you should definitely go ahead and make them! Let me know if you need help finding sources for the Ninjago games.

Thank you for responding! I have already started on the article, and I plan on finishing it in a few days. Also, I have noticed not many articles on Wikipedia are being reviewed lately. I published two articles probably less than two weeks ago. One is on a 3D digital replica of Singapore and the on a voice actress who voices a character in the Ninjago TV Series and neither of them have been reviewed along with more than a thousand articles. What are your thoughts on the situation and do you have an idea why this is happening? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 13:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you're submitting an article through AFC, someone has to review it and approve it. Unfortunately the Video Games WikiProject is probably one of the more active and vibrant ones out there. For instance, I browse AFC candidates that are just about video games. So I'd guess there just aren't that many people in that topic area, which seems to be the case for WikiProject Toys. For instance, a toy I wrote an article for, Cube World, still doesn't have an article class!

A workaround may be to just directly create the article. I'd caution this unless you're really confident about the notability of the articles you're writing, but it is one way of getting it out there and dealing with the admin later. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I had heard about something like this, When I created the article Dollar Dash, on my talk page, the message also said that I could just create an article, and not have to submit it to AfC. Could you tell me how to do that? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 04:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure! Check out WP:HTCAP. Again, I'd only go straight to this if you're very confident of the subject matter's notability. I had a lot of retroactive deletions from pages I made all at once because I was pumping out obscure indie game articles a year or so ago and nobody noticed until much later. Probably explains why I'm a bit overly cautious! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for replying so fast, I tried it on the 3D digital replica of Singapore, and it seems to look pretty good on my side, its called Virtual Singapore. I'll try doing the other one later. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article Stef Pinto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Creator PROD on the basis of notability concerns; not inherited by the individual games. My attitudes to notability were probably a bit more relaxed a year ago.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon for comments about the article, and Talk:The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hey again! I'm probably like 1/3 of the way done on the Lego Ninjago (video game series) article, but I had a question, what should other games which have Lego Ninjago in it come under? For example, Lego Dimensions has Lego Ninjago in it as one if its franchises. Same goes with Lego Brawls, Lego Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Lego Universe, and so many more. So what would they come under? Like what would be the appropriate heading to put them under? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The difference with those is that they feature the appearance of Ninjago in Lego series games, whereas the focus of the article is on the specific Ninjago series. So it probably merits a sentence in the body of text, but the lead article will already cover the appearance of Ninjago in other media, if that makes sense.

Some random IP submitted my article, just want to know if you can turn that submit box gray again. Toketaa^talk 13:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hmm, it doesn't look submitted to me as I can't review it, even though I agree the IP looks like they submitted it in the log. If you are able to get the article to a standard of notability, you can click the 'resubmit' article on the template. Not to discourage you but please be aware the article had a deletion discussion previously, if a few decades ago. Anecdotally, there's also a deletion trend for individual Pokemon on the basis of notability, so it may be an uphill battle here. Happy to help.

Hi there, as someone who is new to Wikipedia and a new Arknights fan (yes, I play Arknights), I created this article about Hypergryph, who are the developers of the critically acclaimed game. Unfortunately, the submission was declined due to a lack of notability and when I got this notice I don't know where to start. Is there a way to fix a problem like that? The article is right here if you need it. TriFusion (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! Sorry, that was me. Just to outline some background that you may know, notability is the yardstick for articles entering the mainspace. This is where significant coverage about the subject matter from reliable sources independent of the subject is out there. For companies, it's important to note notability isn't conferred by the products a company makes; there has to be significant coverage about the company itself to warrant inclusion. This may be easy to resolve as I don't have familiarity with non-english sources that may already do this. Basically you probably just want the article to have information on the company's background - its formation, staffing, operations and any sources that assess its history or body of work as a whole. Because Arknights is the only product of the company, this would normally make the need for an article about the developer less necessary, although I note they seem to have a lot of other things in the works. But re-reading I see now that there is a bit more to it.

Also there are some issues with neutral point of view. You may want to substantiate claims that the game has "critical acclaim", "is one of the most popular mobile games globally because of its gameplay, storyline, music, and art design" and has a "global success and fanbase" - this isn't evidenced by the Polygon citation and the Pocket Gamer citation only states that it's a popular game. It's important to remember that statements have to be verifiable by reliable sources.

Hope this guidance helps you improve the draft to a level that's good to go! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey again! I wanted help with this article I improved recently. If you look at the article's talk page, it was rated stub-class and regarded as low importance on WikiProject Video games. Now since I improved it, is it possible for these titles to change? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes! All you need to do is add the tag |reassess=y after the class in the template on the talk page. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! Google search as been busted for years. With Tour de France 2013: 100 Edition I typed that and Focus Home Interactive in search and selected the "range" option in Google for which the game released (in this case 2013) and I got the results.
