Maxis or Criterion?

Why is The Sims 3 listed as a game developed by Criterion when in the Sims 3 page it states Maxis?203.211.125.189 (talk) 10:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's also wrong that Sims 3 is added to the Criterion Games page. I can't find anything about The Sims 3 on the Criterion Games website and official forum. --Joriz (talk) 00:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

Burnout Paradise has had 3 free updates. You may want to mention that there are now Motorbikes in Burnout Paradise! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.46.70 (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Sims 3 World Builder

Considering there is no source and I cannot find any information about it, I am going to remove this. If anyone wants to add it again, at least link to a source. 83.132.239.51 (talk) 15:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Sims 3

Stop adding rumors to the page, as of now there is no source about Criterion being involved in The Sims franchise, there are only rumors. 85.139.80.208 (talk) 19:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Criterions looking to be wound up... 25 employees?

Somethings up when most move to Ghost Games UK or Ghost UK... why would two subsidiaries compete with each other when they are owned by the same parent... EA...? Shady shit at Criterion though

Burnout Legends

@TheDeviantPro: The NDS version is a port, this means that 99.9% of Criterion's work went directly into that version. By default, we list all of a game's platforms unless it is a derivative work of the same game (such as Game Boy tie-ins to several PC games in the early 2000s), and so we should also list the NDS version of Burnout Legends here.

Old logos

@IceWelder: Hello, you removed old logos with the reason "rm nfcc violations" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criterion_Games&diff=1137196494&oldid=1137194410), however a low-resolution non-free content is allowed and there is no free alternative for old logos. A lot of people know the company from the old logos so I suggest to bring back the deleted content in the article. I already mentioned this information after a previous revert you made last year (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criterion_Games&oldid=1104087105). Baptx (talk) 19:03, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This may be up to interpretation, but I don't think that an older logo is sufficient for WP:NFCC solely for having a different image from the current one, despite bearing the same name. I would understand that one could use a separate image if it represented a completely different identity, such as before a corporate takeover and rebranding, but this is not the case here.
