Motivation[edit]

Notified participants of WikiProject Video games

Game Informer (Q27197) is a major American monthly magazine and website featuring a pretty large video game database. The website is also extremely used as reliable source across many Wikis. Please note that in addition to video games, the website also includes various gaming platforms and devices ([1], [2], [3]). Should we include them in the ID as well? Let me know what do you think.
