Many of these companies are in the Category:Computer companies of the united states. Personally, when I look at that category, I'm not expecting to see game companies. This list is much more appropriate grouping. How do people feel about removing the game companies from the aforementioned category? Dyl 20:37, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
Wouldn't have a problem with that, so long as they're interlinked clearly, like this list and the "list of game manufacturers". I'd also suggest removing the defunct ones, and just making sure they're all added to Category:Defunct_video_game_companies instead.--DewiMorgan 22:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ?
why is ther FusionGames.com listed as a company in "F" section (and its not even placed right) FusionGames.com is a game STORE not maker or compani —Preceding unsigned comment added by EPIC MASTER (talk • contribs) 16:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Added a new column
I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to start adding a new column to the page, displaying the role of the company in the industry. This gives people a better idea of what the company actually does. So far in this list I've used categories:
- Video game publisher
- Video game developer
- Video game engine developer
- Console developer
But I think that there are probably chances in the list to use the following, as they still have something to do with the industry:
- Video game retailer
- Console accessory manufacturer
Also, I would argue that the defunct companies should not be removed, because they are still a video game company and to me this article is about providing all the companies in one place, although I don't think it would be a bad idea to add a "defunct or not?" style column. This page will eventually get to be a featured article through our efforts!

- I think it's best to work this off somewhat strategically.
- I would first complete/clean-up the list of game developer, console developer and game publisher, the active ones.
- Then we can add the defunct ones, maybe just put a note there when it's defunct.
- The retailers and accessory manufacturers (how about media?) I would wait with untill we have the above filled in. GameLegend (talk) 22:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dates on the Article
I think that some degree of consistency should be kept regarding the dates - that is to say a year and a year only. Not a month and a year, or a date and a year, just a year. If you disagree, state why I'm wrong and change it back. ShmenonPie - You wanna slice of me? (talk) 19:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] States
Do you think we should add the state to the location, I'm trying to find out which ones are in Washington, and it's difficult, especially if a company is in a city that's not well-known city. Maybe I'll start adding states, but could other people help out please? Adam (talk) 02:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- What I've done is link to the appropiate Wikipedia article to begin with. Since Wikipedia is an international website, and not a US-one, the states are of no importance in this list. Just link to the right article, which includes the state anyway, and use only the city name here in this list. GameLegend (talk) 00:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
