People and titles

I'm not sure as to why Lauren Elliott specifically is shown as the creator of the franchise, when as the franchise and series pages explain, it was the result of a team at Broderbund. In fact, I think Broderbund used to credit four people (Lauren and three I've forgotten) as the joint creators. Wouldn't it make more sense to remove him from the title, and instead have a "People" section within the template isting him and other key people in the franchise's history, such as the Carlstons, Rita Moreno, and Gina Rodriguez?

On another topic, I don't think "New Carmen Adventure" is an appropriate abbreviation for that game's title. It's a tagline rather than a title unto itself. It's regrettable that the game was never released with a subtitle in English, but it could be listed as "World (2009)," as "Mystère au bout du monde," or as the English translation, "Mystery at the End of the World."

Also, why do North Dakota and Japan say "(spin-off)"? They are official games, and though they weren't part of the canon (for lack of a better term) at the time, the canon of Carmen games has changed so much over time based on what is or isn't in print that I don't think that should matter now.

Broderbund split

Is this even necessary? It was fine before, with all the Broderbund games together rather than trying to separate them by "era."HarashoEli (talk) 05:03, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
