thread_title: Sort by year?

message: Hi Iftekharahmed96, about your title move here, even though I understand the ratio, I think that the new title does no longer reflect the content of the table. In fact, this contains many titles published by others and still based on Marvel characters. I think that Marvel Games, as a publishing brand, should have a separate article, similarly to what happens with List of films based on Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios. I would, therefore, encourage you to revert the name of the article and, in case, create a new article for the publisher. What do you think? --Tanonero (msg) 11:03, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there (msg), thanks for taking the opportunity to respond to me regarding this as oppose to outright reverting it. Ever since the division's inception, Marvel Games has always been a licensing label (like Disney Interactive), they're involved in all the video games based on Marvel Comics, but are not directly credited. In the introduction of the article, it states that the games published before the incorporation of Marvel Games was by Marvel Entertainment Group (the legal Marvel company before bankruptcy) and Marvel Enterprises/Marvel Entertainment (the legal Marvel company after bankruptcy). Marvel Games was incorporated in 2009 as shown by their Twitter account being activated then, alongside them talking about X-Men Origins: Wolverine as the first game they promoted on Twitter. Having separate articles is not only illogical because there's not enough citations to justify it, but there's too much overlap not for the two to merge.

replies: text: Hi there, thank you for your reply. I just realised you had answered, so please next time ping me. As you surely know, because of the way Wikipedia works, we can't afford to give credit to statement such as "they're involved in all the video games based on Marvel Comics, but are not directly credited". We either can source the credits, or source the fact that they weren't credited yet they were involved. That being said, I think that the real problem is that there a bunch of games in there, such as the Men in Black ones, that weren't published by either Marvel Studios, nor any other previous Marvel label. The way you titled the page, make it now mandatory for the listed games to have a linking with Marvel as a gaming publisher. So, we either get back to the previous title (in which games such as MIBs have a right to stay as somewhat based on Marvel comics) or we clean up the list with games clearly published within such labels. I'm happy either way. What do you think? --Tanonero (msg) 14:02, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey there , it would have been more appropriate for you to tag me in the talk page of Marvel Games and discuss about the article matter there. Anyway, if you go on the Twitter account for Marvel games, you can see that the account was created on March 2009. I used advanced search to see what the account was promoting and found that the account is actively promoting all Marvel games that came out from 2009 onwards. Here's the official website for Marvel Games (https://www.marvel.com/games) which as you can see, is the Games section of Marvel Entertainment. Unfortunately, there are not any third party sites that I can find that talk about Marvel Games as a legal entity, but Marvel themselves uses the division to promote all of their video games, as Marvel Games is Marvel's video game brand. I stress that we clean up the list based on the different Marvel labels, because Marvel has been directly involved with all of their video games, it just so happens that Marvel has been legally incorporated as different companies throughout the years. To make things easier, I am happily willing to help with the editing process. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:10, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
