Thanks for the informative response! I've been winding down here a bit with FFXIII cleaned up (was a nice little side project for me). You've been a great help understanding all the stuff here!

I guess I will chime in on a couple things though. The standard for labeling for Steam DRM is rather flawed in my opinion, if that is the case. The DRM scheme on Steam is in practical terms the same as retail - controlled by the publisher and developer, Steam just offers CEG and more "CEG-lite" measures as options. I personally don't think it's very informative for the reader (especially on a site devoted to fixes, some which revolve around DRM) to label all Steam releases as "Steam DRM" without bothering to check in the first place. Also, that list is a real turn off to edit, and there's another one on another wiki that GOG forums also edit... it's kind of a messy situation and would be better if that list was just auto-generated since, as you said, the situation can change even for added games by the publishers. Just my 2c.

Well, that ended up turning into a bit of soapbox, sorry. On that note, a lot (all?) of Night Dive Studio releases are DRM-free on Steam on Windows and come with the GOG bonuses (a studio that specializes in buying classic IPs, and FWIW I've personally verified all the ones in this bundle: http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/night-dive-bundle/).

On the pages with merged release dates, it does get rather messy if kept on the same page. I did the Ys pages a few days ago in addition to the Tales page from yesterday. Currently I distinguished them via language I.E. "English version does not support XX", but in retrospect I probably should have done via it publisher and possible a partial release date, I.E. "2014 XSEED release does not support XX".

Sorry again for the wall of text... just opining there. Thanks again for your help!
