Fails WP:LISTN. Not a notable grouping that is discussed by reliable sources. Futhermore, the criteria for inclusion on this list is just plain stupid. I don't see a logical reason to create a list of games that do not release on a particular platform. The1337gamer (talk) 17:57, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is actually a list of multiplatform console games that were not released on Windows PCs. When you consider how absurdly specific it is, it seems kind of pointless. I suppose it could be broadened to include Amiga and Atari games, but it'd still struggle to satisfy WP:LISTN. I imagine "list of multiplatform video games" has potential, though.

Delete There has been list of games exclusive for generations, PlayStation only, Xbox only lists. Why can't this one exist as well? Your reason wanting to delete is null and void, because according to it, these pages are nominated for deletion as well.

Strong Keep So the topic is "multiplat games not available on PC". WP:LISTN says that topic must be talked about by sources for it to be considered notable enough for a list. So, do people talk about, as a group, "multiplat games not available on PC"? The answer is yes. It is widely discussed when comparing PC gaming to console gaming. Nearly every article on the subject will discuss "multiplat games not available on PC" when comparing the two, and as you can imagine there are probably thousands of articles out there comparing PC and console gaming. It is in fact one of the primary points of discussion when comparing PC and console gaming. Here are a few, and I would gladly search for more if you need it: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. While searching, I thought it interesting, funny, and sad that this CNET article references Wikipedia's great List of video game exclusives (eighth generation), a list so well liked by the world they even included it in reliable sources. At least that was until we deleted it last month leaving not so much as a redirect. --Odie5533 (talk) 13:58, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I do agree this is listcruft. There are console exclusives, there are PC exclusives, there are XBox-"dis"clusives (like NMS), there are PS4-"dis"clusives (Gears of War). The potential combination is incredibly large. Also, there's the dubious nature of some of the earlier games on this list. Today, with Unity and other cross-plat engines, the lack of a PC version may be odd, but in the 6th and early 7th gen, such cross-plat engines were not common and so the lack of a PC version is not surprising. --MASEM (t) 14:52, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fine, if you all really want to get rid of that page, do as you please... tuanpingas (talk) 21:59, 12 December 2016 (UTC+7)
Delete - This is fancruft/"console war" type stuff. It doesn't make sense to make lists based off of things that that the subjects aren't. Sergecross73 msg me 16:52, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article could be moved to List of multiplatform video games only available on consoles, or List of multiplatform video games exclusive to consoles, or List of console exclusive multiplatform video games, though the latter is confusing because the term "console exclusive" has two meanings. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:LISTCRUFT pure trivia, not useful, the criterion is that they are not specific to a certain platform, could actually make it harder for the reader to find what they are actually looking for. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 23:53, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unnecessary, and reverse logic to have a list about where something isn't available. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 17:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT. -- Dane ^talk 01:20, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Most definitely Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT. This article is unnecessary, redundant and pathetic. It is blatantly obvious console fanboy trash, meant to undermine, unnerve and provoke PC Gamers and PC Gaming as a whole. Most of the games on this list are useless console shovelware and games such as "Call of Duty 3", "Ghost Recon 2" or "Battlefield: Bad Company 1", "The Darkness 1", "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" and "Battlefield 1943" are inferior and irrelevant since there are far superior PC sequels available. Furthermore it's only a matter of time before games like "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Destiny" are released on PC. I recommend this page to be deleted ASAP. - Marston88 (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
