# Talk:Mighty Doom

So, I noticed there's some disagreement about the correct tense for the article. @NegativeMP1 explained it well in the edit summary. This is a defunct mobile game that is no longer playable. I previously asked for input at WikiProject Video games[1] and ultimately decided to follow the example set by Sonic Runners during this article's GA review. Sonic Runners is another defunct mobile game with GA status, and its article handles tense the same way. Vestigia Leonis (talk) 10:27, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Am I recalling it incorrectly, or was it the other way around a while back? That it is a defunct game that is no longer available, like a piece of lost art. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:48, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
MOS:VGTENSE states "Use the present tense when describing a subject that continues to exist. For example, a 1984 video game and console both continue to exist as long as copies of both are in circulation, but both a canceled video game and a discontinued online game exist only in the past tense". It then gives an example of this: "Glitch was a browser-based massively multiplayer online game launched in 2011 and discontinued the next year". Unless I am misinterpreting the text here I'm pretty sure treating this game as in the past tense is fair. λ NegativeMP1 18:28, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
@Soetermans I'm not sure if this was different in the past, as I haven't worked on many defunct games. But based on the excerpt from the MOS above, we should be fine with the current version. Vestigia Leonis (talk) 09:06, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
