::I would suggest if the future written text will mention altered scenes then the writer should read the wiki article about video game censorship as some games are altered so a game will be able to release in a certain country. About the video games being changed to fit onto different consoles, that would also fit for games that are played on computers versus their video game console counterpart version. An example of a game looking different across a console generation is "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" 2009 release. The game was released for the PS2 and PS3, if you go look at the game you will see that the characters are styled differently for their respective console and there is even some gameplay differences as well.

:::I wonder if this information might be more usefully placed in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources]] or [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Video games]]. [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 23:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
:What you are suggesting would be [[WP:OR|original research]]. Video games often tell a story, so they can be used a primary sources insofar as the plot, but explaining differences in censorship and graphics is not something the game does. Journalists do that.
