As said before in Wikidata:Property proposal/GamesIndustry.biz topic ID, GamesIndustry.biz (Q61740436) is a reputable news publication covering the video gaming industry. We covered the tags with ‎GamesIndustry.biz tag ID (P13796) but they also index video games (with metadata attached being developer, publisher, Genres and initial release date), mostly to our video game (Q7889) items (and expansion packs and compilations) and sometimes to our video game edition (Q60997816) items (and the seemingly lost topic like awesome-games-done-quick . The Mix’n’match catalogue, courtesy of User:Kirilloparma, already has 100+ matches. Jean-Fred (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2025 (UTC)reply

Support This seems to be a proper subset of the Eurogamer ID (P7875) values as both sites use the same database internally. Dexxor (talk) 14:39, 10 December 2025 (UTC)reply
Yeah, I was wondering whether it was sharing data with a sister site. My guess was with IGN − I did find one instance where the release date was different (by one day :p) between IGN and GamesIndustry.biz (and eg the genres were not the same). I had not checked with Eurogamer − out of curiosity what makes you think it uses the same database internally? Jean-Fred (talk) 16:30, 10 December 2025 (UTC)reply
(sorry for late reply) If you inspect the HTML code of Eurogamer and GamesIndustry.biz, you can see that both contain
data-uuid="5602a568-15bf-416c-8edc-63042b171df5" data-name="The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"
