Talk:Firaxis Games

message: Respected editor Zntrip changed the list of games sections from a bare list to a table. While I agree the old list was rather lacking, the table makes it look like the platforms the game was released the most important feature of the game:
Year	Title                      	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)	Platform(s)
Year	Title                      	DS         	iOS        	Lin        	Mac        	PS3        	PSP        	Wii        	Win        	WP         	Xbox       	X360
1997	Sid Meier's Gettysburg!    	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	
1998	Sid Meier's Antietam!      	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	
1999	Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	
1999	Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	           	
How about ONE column for platforms (see List of Electronic Arts games for an example) and a column with a very short description of the game? I think this would be far more useful. This would also save a lot of space, since Firaxis normally doesn't release games on a ton of platforms. Example:
Title                      	Year	Platform(s)    	Description
Sid Meier's Gettysburg!    	1997	Win            	A real-time tactical video game of the Battle of Gettysburg
Sid Meier's Antietam!      	1998	Win            	A real-time tactical video game of the Battle of Antietam
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 	1999	Linux, Mac, Win	A critically acclaimed science fiction 4X turn-based strategy game
Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire	1999	Linux, Mac, Win	An expansion to Alpha Centauri
Like I said, I think the move to a table was a good one, but I'm not sure the columns are the most relevant for their games. Any thoughts? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 01:05, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: New table for games

message: It always seemed obvious to me that it is a contraction of "fire-axis", and is pronounced that way, but a lot of people in youtube videos say "fer-AX-is", which seems absurd. And often they slur it to "frAXis". Any official info on this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77Mike77 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
