:({{Find sources AFD|title=Pirate Software (game developer)}})

Company doesn't seem to meet [[WP:NCORP]]- lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. [[User:MrsSnoozyTurtle|''MrsSnoozyTurtle'']] 05:27, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

* '''Selectively merge''' to [[Heartbound (video game)]]. This article contains a lot of content about the game development process of Heartbound, which would fit better there ([[Heartbound (video game)#Development]] is almost empty as it stands). Of the sources not talking about Heartbound, Ref 1 is primary, Refs 3 and 5 are interviews lacking independent content, Refs 4 and 6 (which I assume are the same) don't contain any coverage of the company at all, and the rest is obvious chaff like the company's own twitter feed (3 times) and their own website. The argument given on the talk page is largely [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS]], the the "other stuff" being ancient articles. Searching for sources is difficult due to the large number of mentions of [[software piracy]], but I could not find any better sources easily.

*'''Redirect or Merge''' to [[Heartbound (video game)]] as notability is not inherited from works a studio may create and this article fails [[WP:NCORP]]. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 07:32, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
