Publishers can change acquisition method.

I noticed that the GamersGate page has an information bubble informing users that publishers can change acquisition methods for previously purchased games. I know that Humble Store allows this as well, as I purchased Beyond Good & Evil quite a while back and received a DRM-free copy (an exact copy of the GOG version), but later found that the download had been replaced with a key for UPlay. The problem is, I have no proof of this. Should I add it and mark it as citation needed, or should I just leave it be?

Do we *really* need the list of games?

Looking at the stores on Category:Digital Distribution, Humble is the only store page that has a complete listing of all the games on it, which makes me wonder if it's really necessary. Most of the information in the table is replicated in the Availability section of each game's article and any info that isn't there can be put in there pretty easily. Anybody have any issues with the table being removed?

No, it's pretty redundant. I didn't even know it existed. Though there's also this on that same page "This means that some are intended to be private and not used by general consumers." So idk, I guess that's the reason as to why it's there.

Wait for someone else to post though, I have no idea what it really is used for.

Reason for the list is that it contains humble widgets, the ones you can find on developer/publisher/official site, not the games on storefront. Reason for the list is that if at some point website hosting the widget is taken down, widget are taken down from the page for some reason or widget wasn't available publicly to begin with, it can still be accessed trough direct link and those usually always have the US price instead of other currencies on humble store.

There are some overlapping with games availability table for sure, but there are multiple cases where this is not the case and availability table never links directly to widget, always the site where the widget is.

I have actually used this list couple times now for said reasons and it seems to be maintained by anon pretty well. If it's too much of a bother, then that section could be just converted into it's own list instead of being a part of store page (somewhat relevant link: http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/topic/1810-pcgamingwikis-projects-and-lists-overhaul/ ). At least it's much easier to maintain that humble bundle list was and it basically got out of hand.

Here's a little proposal for re-arranging the big honkin' table a bit. This layout emphasizes the different downloads, keys, and bonuses that usually come with a game, and (I hope) makes it easier to visually separate those games with a less bountiful package. The soundtrack icon beats putting a note on most of the listings. If somebody more pixel-minded could come up with a Steam-greenlight icon (more like the Steam logo than the bland green crescent), that'd be awesome too.

Adding a date field is a little busy, but it's handy to sort on that and just skim the new titles.

You can add a link to game page o developers homepage. When I'm interested in a game, I must google it. Using a link to an oficial website will make it much easier.

Here's a good resource for Humble Bundle games' Humble Store pages
