IGN

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the IGN should be in Italics as seen on its respective article Spy-cicle💥 ^Talk? 23:08, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right. Articles (and editors) seem to go back and forth on this, but italics seems correct. – Rhain ☔ 00:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance of the award context

With the recent critical media and social media responses to RDR2 receiving an award for "continuous game improvement" from Steam but this article not including such responses it on the grounds of "Mostly unreliable, and doesn’t change the fact that it’s irrelevant and not notable. People have opinions about awards all the time." I can only doubt the context of all of the awards listed here and their legitimacy. 80.254.216.102 (talk) 16:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you can, and possibly should. But adding a footnote every time an award winner is questioned or criticised is not what this article is about. The criticisms seem more appropriate for The Steam Awards than here. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 08:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can see the value of dividing the list of awards and their nuances separately. 80.254.216.102 (talk) 14:21, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
