The current sources aside from Tweakers.net and Joystiq are not significant. Joystiq is a blog so it is not reliable. All of the sources are only about the company's bankruptsy. I could not find any in-depth sources online. Carpimaps (talk) 05:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Has an in-depth mention in Global Game Industries and Cultural Policy by Anthony Fung (pg. 215–216) stating it had an "important legacy" in Dutch game development and the same with Video Games Around the World by Mark J. P. Wolf (pg. 370). I also see a use for the page considering it has released several independently notable products, and a page listing the games rather than simply a category better serves the reader. Why?

 * Keep. Not sure why this was nominated. In fact, it is quite odd it was. The nominator seems to discount any WP:SIGCOV around the bankruptcy. There is no basis for this. The claim that all coverage is around the bankruptcy is both incorrect and irrelevant. The following are LISTS of articles in the NATIONAL media of the Netherlands, i.e. each representing MANY articles, some excellent and clearly pulling Playlogic over the notability line.RTLNRCVolkskrantRDADND gidonb (talk) 14:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in both industry news sources (GamesIndustry.biz and others) and scholarly works as shown by (full text here, see pp 215-216). Jfire (talk) 17:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. This baseless nomination was made from a new account. Recently, there has been a trend at WP that new users or sockpops show up, make a few edits, then baselessly nominate articles. They seem to derive pleasure from pointless discussions or something of sorts. I'd appreciate if an admin can speedy close this. gidonb (talk) 00:36, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You are forgetting to assume good faith. When I listed this article for afd, I felt that I had done a through search for sources. It's now proven that there are sources and I just did a poor job at searching sources. I apologize for making this afd and I will withdraw this afd when I figure out how to. Please remember the hanlon's razor. Carpimaps (talk) 01:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Your withdrawal is appreciated. My concern is that we are wasting time better spent in the article space, which this nomination did. Please do NOT repeat nominations like this one! gidonb (talk) 02:03, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
