Doesn't this happen every few months when a new video game comes out? I say we should just stop giving so much attention to video game appearances.

As I've said countless times with video games, I don't see why we don't just condense all video game versions of a character to a single page.

Or instead of inundating the Wiki with constant TRNs for useless video games that are going to basically be irrelevant once a platform becomes obsolete, we should instead just do a page for the video game. Any character page made for one of these games should be deleted and the user informed that we don't do separate profiles for video game characters. Because really at the end of the day what is the benefit of creating separate profiles for these characters? Most of these video game character pages have little to no info on them and usually it's not anything that could not otherwise be added to a main page for the game.

Or instead of just a game page, a catch all character. For example make a "Spider-Man (Video Games)" page and use it as a catch-all for video game characters.

If people don't like that, then they can go and start a Wiki based entirely on Marvel video games where they can create pages for every character.

In all honesty, after a given game is released and people stop playing, Marvel never revisits it because they're just video games. The only exception I can think of is the Capcom/Marvel fighting games and (for some reason) the Lego Marvel stuff.

If Marvel has given a game a universe designation (and I don't mean games based on various Marvel movies either) and a character makes a number of appearances across different games and mediums, then okay fine do a character page or whatever. But once this Spider-Man mobile game stops being the latest trend, not only will we have all these useless TRN's that nobody is going to visit or update, but we're going to have the same problem a few months down the road whenever some other game comes out.

Instead of dealing with this every time a new game comes out, lets just quash the problem completely with all future video game releases and be done with it.

If people want to have page after page of different video game versions of Spider-Man that basically explain how to play a game, then perhaps someone should devote a Wiki entirely to Marvel video games.
