HwitVlf: The USA and South/North america example against England and Europe is exactly the example i was trying to give.

<r><QUOTE author="gigadeath"><s>[quote=gigadeath]</s>I don't get your reply. I already said that the Dragonball game should be (Europe) (Fr) or (France/Spain) (Fr). (France) is wrong but<br/>
1) if we change it to (Europe) (Fr) then we should change to (Europe) (De) all the German language games ...

<r><QUOTE author="gigadeath"><s>[quote=gigadeath]</s>As I said, I don't oppose changes that go from specific to generic, because the result might be slightly less precise but at least won't end up wrong. So that Dragonball game could be named (Europe) (Fr), despite being released only in France and ...

<r><QUOTE author="gigadeath"><s>[quote=gigadeath]</s>A "better" naming scheme is not my goal, since I prefer to focus on dumps, but it becomes a problem of mine when wrong naming corrupts the info I contributed to gain. (E) has always meant (Europe), in Cowering database, in No-Intro database, in ...

<r><QUOTE author="gigadeath"><s>[quote=gigadeath]</s>Why do you say that labelling a game (En) shows it was primarily an England release? English has always been the primary language of videogames, since Pong, Space Invaders was English-only for all the planet basically. They're not books where ...

<r><QUOTE author="gigadeath"><s>[quote=gigadeath]</s>I added a part to mu above post. I accept what you're saying, but not what TossEAC is, English-only PAL games are not (England) at all.<br/>
<br/>
In other words we can go from specific to generic, but not from generic to specific without ...

Even so, labelling Continent and Languages for every release, is more accurate surely? Can you give me a case in which it isn't?

<t>If its down to physical distribution, why list the language at all?<br/>
<br/>
Listing as "Game (Continent) (Languages)" gives both physical distribution, consistency, and higher searching capabilities (when searching through files). It gives more information..<br/>
<br/>
In addition, if for ...

<t>I knew it stood for Europe, that isn't whats being said. But really any Europe games should be labelled Europe then have the indiviudual languages listed. German games are still Europe.. Having a mix of of labelling shouldn't be the case, its inconsistant. I think the region should be labelled ...

<t>I agree with tossEAC about the english games. For the eastern european countries you are naming, they obviously don't have a big enough presence to require production of there own games.. so import from UK etc. Effectively, this means that they are UK games. In ways, maybe USA should be re-named ...
