What happened here?
I just noticed someone removed the BL game and GxB pages and reverted them here. Now, not only is this page a mess, but the "gender focus" section on the sidebar is obsolete /and/ people are getting confused - I just saw that Angelique had been placed in the "Bishoujo games" category (there are no official Angelique games that involve a male main character dating females).
As a newcomer to this whole area, I have a couple of queries:
- In the "Technical definition" section, it says:
Since ren'ai game literally means 'romantic game', isn't it inaccurate to call it a sub-genre of "dating sim"? Isn't it actually the other way around?"dating sim" applies to any sort of romantic anime game, including those which might be specified as ren'ai games
- Could someone please add a specific list of games that are available in English?

Renai games are not dating sims.
Ashibaka's argument is basically "it's not English and since 'dating sim' is an excellent equivalent we should be using that". It's not. The games aren't about dating . The games are not simulation games. That's it, really. Omgwtflolz 08:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- I have pointed out multiple times that you are wrong and I am right. I know I am smarter than you, ergo my point of view is better than yours. In all seriousness, bring in some extra voices to this before you start reverting. Ashibaka tock 21:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Impropper use of Artifical Inteligence
The article says "The gameplay involves conversing with a selection of artificial intelligence-controlled girls" this is somewhat incorrect. There is no artificial intelligence involved. It is all a set of predesigned pathways for you to take and its just differing depending on your choices. A pick-a-path book is _not_ artificially intelligent. :p Edited to reflect this.
