I don't really have an issue with this being here per se, but does it really need it? Almost no other guide does this, and it reads more like a wikipedia page or something. Most of the content provided here is to help someone's game run better or find solutions for issues. Just feel that if they wanted to know about the game's history, that could be better found elsewhere.

Quite a few games on here have such descriptions. And to be honest, for a wiki with information of PC games, I kinda expect it to be there.
