plagiarism accusations ?
There's a controversy about "video games" being a copy of the song "Dromoi Agapisa Pou" by greek singer Elena Vitali, isn't it worth mentionning ?

Copyedits
Hi, I'm from the GOCE, and I'm here to copyedit this article to the best of my abilities! I have already started, in fact, and I'm here to explain where I'm going with it: It's a short article, and I'll be done with the preliminary copyedit soon. Then we can talk it over, and hopefully you'll be able to renominate it. Bobnorwal (talk) 15:55, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I already took out some of the quotes. The first one, about her lowering her voice, just didn't agree with the rest of the sentence. Maybe an additional sentence that paraphrases that quote would be better? I also took out "– and we all know what happened the last time a singer did that, don't we?" Actually, I don't really. There are so many stars who melt down. It's hard to keep count. Either way, the article is fine without it, and the Good Article reviewer did seem to think there were too many quotes...
 * Everything else I've done to this point are just minor copyedits that aim to clarify and straighten up. Let me know if you have a problem with any of them.
 * UPDATE: I'd say it's basically done. Of course, I have a couple things to add:
 * The opening line of the Reception section provides little to no context and is a little confusing. I don't really see what Cat Power has to do with this song. But if you're going to leave this quote, I'd recommend at least linking to the article about her
 * Also, I didn't touch the formatting of the references. I'm really not up on all the particulars of that area.

 * Thank you so much for taking my request! It really means a lot. I have to agree, that line with Cat Power it's not necessary, it doesn't add much info to the article and most readers won't even understand the context, so I removed it. Also, the references are already fixed according to the previous GA review. Again, thank you. - Saulo  Talk to Me 15:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Covers
Traditionally "cover versions" has meant officially released versions of the song from different artists. I'm not convinced that songs played on a radio session that obliges the performer to do a version of another contemporaneous track qualifies as a "cover", particularly from a notability point of view. d a n n o 01:35, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

'Background' section
Is it just me, or is the vast majority of the Background section completely irrelevant to this song? --Michig (talk) 16:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree, should be removed JKing8812 (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Video Games (song)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Video Games (song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BandcampB": From Bristeil:  From Cyruĺnia Svietu:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:21, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Original release date
Hey guys, I've edited the original release date from the current unsourced Jun 29 2011 to May 5 2011 - as seen on the internet archive page here. For those in doubt of May release date, here's also some blog post from May about the video. This May 5 upload is the earliest one I could find – and it seems like the very first release, as the video couldn't have been made earlier than April 22 2011, as one of sources was uploaded to Youtube on April 22. For those further interested in the early life of Video Games, it seems to have been reuploaded multiple times then, as certain bits and pieces were edited or replaced in the video. This upload from Aug 19 seems like one of the final edits. demis talk 00:39, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
