You know how the album infobox has a "recorded" field, showing the album's started/ended recording? I think of the same idea but for video game development. It could be just the date of the start of the development, since games are usually developed until the very release. Of course, the field would be optional and could only be used with reliable sources. Oh, and I did read the FAQ above and still think this is a good idea, but feel free to argue.

Most video games do not have a well defined period for when it was developed. Further, whereas recording an album may take only a few days to a month, depending, games have years of development, making that field not very helpful. Masem (t) 15:24, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
