Allow European PC Games to be added with correct regional information
Hi,
I noticed that PC Games are currently treated as a single NTSC category in the system. However, this makes it impossible to properly add European/PAL PC releases.
When adding a new game, PC Games is available when NTSC (US) is selected, but PC Games is not available when PAL (Europe) is selected.
This creates several problems for contributors who own European PC releases:
- European UPC/EAN/barcodes cannot be entered correctly
- European cover art cannot be properly associated with the release
- PEGI ratings cannot be properly represented instead of ESRB
- European release dates may differ from the US release
- European releases can have significantly different market values
For example, I'm trying to add the European PC release of Sonic Heroes (2004). The European release has its own EAN (5060004763498) and model number (SEGA-PC008-UK), but there is currently no way to add it as a European PC release through the contributor tool.
I understand that PriceCharting currently keeps PC Games in one combined list rather than separating PAL and NTSC. However, it would be very useful if contributors could at least add the correct regional information and European barcode for these releases.
There are also other European PC games that I would like to contribute, so this issue affects more than just one game.
Could PC Games either be added as an available platform for PAL (Europe), or could the contributor system be changed so that European PC releases can be added while still remaining in the same PC Games category?
Thank you!
