So I've been getting into Lego game speedrunning lately and I noticed that it's missing some games but they're on the site under different series. The Lego Harry Potter games are in the Harry Potter series and the Lego Batman games are under the Batman series. I'm not saying that the Lego community should just steal those games I'm just saying that, especially with the distinct style of the Lego games, it's harder to find similar games for those interested. Would it be possible for games like these to fit under multiple series or something? Thanks for any consideration!
We have noticed this for a very long time and this is actually a hassle to handle because these games can remain in several series (Either a LEGO series or the series of the licence covered).
As we don't have a solution to embed a game under several series (which might be a solution) we decided to keep it the way it is.
this brings me to a topic i would like to say, crossover games. games like Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, its technically considered of both series, but as of yet its not on the board, but just what series would it be under, you could have one series take main control of it, and the other series will have a redirect to it. while both series are able to edit it
I think there's need for looser hierarchy relationships, such as multiple series per game, but the moderation inheritance is dependent on the series structure right now, so there's a decent bit that needs restructured to handle it well. I don't really like the idea of two series being able to edit it (creates ambiguous control), I'd rather the applicable people just be added to the game.
I moved LEGO HP to Lego because the game moderator requested here and the series moderator of LEGO also has a run.
I know it's well late to mention it, and it's already been switched over, but the Batman mods are more happier for the LEGO Batman games to be moved into the series, makes more logical sense for them to be there.
