Your revert on the Source Engine

Hi, I have undone your revert on the Source engine article. The sourcing while correct, strictly only apply to Respawn's highly modified licensed fork of Source. Respawn's "Source" include an entirely new D3D11 renderer. A licensee of Source today would not gain access to these additions, and thus including them under this article is highly misleading. Please do not revert again without examining the issue in greater detail. Thanks. 80.43.50.91 (talk) 08:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

System requirements

Hello - why did you remove the system requirements I added for the games Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, and Battlefield 4? Each of those games predecessors has system requirements listed in the article, so why did you decided those requirements are relevant to those articles, but the ones I added were not?MisterZed (talk) 15:19, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my edit statement, which I guess wasn't read, current WP:VG guidelines are to not include system requirements. The fact that they are still in other articles is kinda moot. -- ferret (talk) 18:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert on the List of MOBA Games

You reverted my inclusion of Battleborn on the list of MOBA games, citing notability. I referenced the Notability Guidelines and the point in question seemed to be "In general, notability is an attempt to assess whether the topic has 'gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time' as evidenced by significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic". While the Kotaku article I provided is considered a primary source, I feel that articles in Forbes: [1] Polygon: [2] and N3rdabl3: [3] are sufficient secondary sources to meet notability guidelines as much as any other game mentioned on this list, which usually only list a primary source. I've no doubt you have years of experience in video games and have a breadth of knowledge on the subject. However, I have been working in the VG field for the past 25 years and in MOBA games for the past 6 years (not for Gearbox), and I personally find it valuable to be able to see which games are in this genre as well as what's coming out. If you have some other criteria that you would like to cite for why you feel Battleborn should not be on the list of MOBA games, I would welcome a discussion. Otherwise, I'd ask that you please re-include this game on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaylen (talkcontribs) 19:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Current consensus for this list is that red linked articles not be added. If you feel Battleborn meets WP:N, then feel free to get an article started and then add it to the list. That would be fine with me. However, the other three games definitely needed to be removed, as well as fixing the closing bracket for the table. -- ferret (talk) 19:26, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert on Half-Life (series)

I added Android to the list of platforms on the Half-Life (series) page and you reverted it for some reason. Half-Life 2 runs on Android (NVIDIA Shield devices) natively so that is an incorrect reversion. I have fixed it again.
