These are not the same things. Several game franchises are spread ACROSS several companies. Civilization, MechWarrior, etc. 132.205.94.5 21:17, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep for the reasons stated above. --LostLeviathan 04:10, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I agree that the two are not the same thing. However, there are franchises in the second, and games in the first. I think they both need to be kept, but sorted out first. --ssd 04:22, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete: There doesn't seem to be any particular criteria for inclusion other than "it's got one or more sequels", and most games that are notable enough for WP articles have had sequels or remakes. -Sean Curtin 21:08, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
@Solomonfromfinland: You really should have dropped a note over at WT:VG informing them of this project-wide change to categorisation before you started it. For courtesy purposes, if nothing else.

I notice that there is a tendency for video game franchise articles to use this category alongside any of the categories from "Category:Video game franchises by year". Are they supposed to co-exist, or is that a classic example of overcategorization? Sorry, but I cannot tell what the standard is here. Gamingforfun365 09:04, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
