Commercial games in CSDB
Is it just me wondering why all the commercial games are being added to CSDB? I wouldn't call "Firebird" a scene-group...

I have thought about this a while ago and I don't really mind. |

Hehe, true. There's more important stuff to add than games, such as credits, credits, credits, or, well, screenshots. There's heaps of "empty" entries in this database.
I wonder what's the point of just adding the name of something without credits, screenshots or download links.
But who am I to judge... :-/ |

Because on dial up it is so slow. If there was a simple txt format you coould upload and it added everything except screenshot (these I have never added) then more would be added. Still, I don't see the point in adding games yet. Although it could be debated they are a part of the game scene. |

I think games and game-companies belong to the database aswell. Remember games was one of the items making the C64 so successful. Still, we need a better system to handle various versions (cracks) of the same game done by different groups. This was suggested before.
Templates is what Strykker means - we still all wait for them. Come on, Kilroy! |

Come on, I never said game-companies were not part of the C64-history. Still, I think they do not belong to a *scene*-database. Cracks are OK, but even there I just would like to see credits belonging to the crack not to the game. A different database might do the games-job (as there are some already on the net).

For some reason it seems to be in the nature of many C64-sceners that they only shows interest and respect to "crackers" of a game, never to the people creating it. So who are more responsible for a released game...? Strange IMHO. |

The issue is that this is a scene database, not a games database, we've got plenty for that on the web. it is not about creators of games or anything..

so, will there be some action to remove such stuff or at least stop adding it? |
