Accuracy of #2 U14 Claim[edit]

The claim that Hassabis was #2 U14 seems questionable. Refer to the relevant FIDE rating lists on olimpbase: ^[1], ^[2]. As well, see his rating profile on olimpbase: ^[3]. He was among the leading U14 players in 1990, no question, but not #2; more like #5 in Jan 1990, when excluding Borislav Benev (whose DOB came to light in time for the Jul 1990 list). A claim that he was #2 U14 in England at that time, behind Jonathan Parker, would be more accurate. Also note that he seems to have no presence on FIDE rating lists pre-dating 1990, while Judit Polgar jumped from 2365 to 2555 between the Jul 1988 and Jan 1989 lists. Hassabis would have been U12 when she was 2365. 65.92.40.237 (talk) 04:41, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Theme Park Golden Joystick Award[edit]

The article claims that Theme Park won a Golden Joystick Award. This claim is dubious, as the page Golden Joystick Awards does not list Theme Park. Thus, I am removing mention of the Golden Joystick Award. Thatsme314 (talk) 05:45, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“simulation sandbox games”[edit]

It says “….inspired a whole genre of simulation sandbox games”. Maybe I’m thick and I’m the only one who doesn’t know what that means, but should it not have a link to explain what sandbox games means? ChatGPT tells me Minecraft is an example of a Sandbox game, could we not at least have “eg Minecraft” and a link to that? I think most people would understand Minecraft at least.

I didn't know either. Sure, you can add a link to "sandbox game". You can also add a link from "simulation" to "simulation video game" if you want. Alenoach (talk) 01:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
