Blizzard Involvement

Some people keep deleting information without citing proper sources. While it is true that Blizzard doesn't mention this game on their website does not mean they didn't develop it. SNES games are long since phased out. When googling the majority of the review sites quote both Blizzard and Sunsoft for development. Note that I say the majority, not just one or two sites. Some only mention Blizzard, some only Sunsoft. As long as no source can clearly show that Blizzard did not work on this game, then the information should not be removed. Review sites don't add Blizzard name's by accident. Please don't simply revert changes without proper rationale, it might be considered vandalism. --Fogeltje 16:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I was just reading through the edit history and thought I would comment. First off, I know that Blizzard has every game they ever made listed on their site. I'm a pretty big Blizzard fan and I know they didn't make The Death and Return of Superman.

Generally, companies don't list the products they didn't make, so right off the bat, you're not going to find a "reliable" source that says Blizzard didn't make it. I know a lot of game magazines or game news sites get there information from other sites, so often times a mistake on one website will show up on other sites and since the info is so old, they don't bother to update them.

Another thing I noticed from reading the edits is that those changes being made are from someone within Vivendi, as you can tell from looking up their IP. Vivendi is the parent company of Blizzard, so I think they would know if they made a game or not.

Anyway, just my two cents. =) Grizvan

Simply play the game, either on a console or an emulator. Watch the opening. The first screen says "developed by Blizzard Entertainment". The third screen has Blizzard's logo. What more proof do you need? And I guess since Blizzard's site doesn't mention them, they also didn't develop Justice League Task Force, or various Amiga ports of early 1990s Interplay titles. --TerokNor 09:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The IP claims to be a Vivendi employee, but simply posting from a pc that has an IP belonging to Vivendi doesn't make him an expert, it could be a janitor or secretary posting. A lot of reviewers credit Blizzard as maker of this game and I'm sure they didn't just do that. If it were just one site, I could think it might be a mistake, but not when large sites like gamesport credit Blizzard as well. I'm sure they do their research. The fact that it is not on the Blizzard site does not mean a thing, this is game is old, games for SNES are no longer made or sold in stores. Should we delete any company credit that doesn't list an old console game on their website anymore? And I think what TerokNor just posted is proof enough. The IP user in question consequently deletes information that is supported by facts, I think from now on that should be considered vandalism. --Fogeltje 15:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How can there even be an argument about this? It's a fact. It's not the only DC game they developed; they also developed Justice League: Task Force for the SNES and Genesis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.41.6.23 (talk) 18:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
