From what I’ve gathered reading other forum posts, we’ve been in the process of transitioning to the IGDB database (since February 2023?), and that’s why there are all these extra duplicate entries with less functionality. Relevant thread: IGDB Data Switch Discussion
I haven’t read that whole discussion, but according to the webmaster’s last post:
I almost have the IGDB pages finished up where you can do reviews and status updates like you can now. I just have to add the platform data edit box and the date tracking stuff back in. From there, we’ll get into the crazy nonsense of merging data.
Personally I’m most looking forward to the merging being done so we can get rid of all the duplicate entries when we search. But I’m being patient because this website is great, and I haven’t been paying for it, so I can’t complain! I just graduated though, so I’m looking forward to subscribing once I have a job!
