Absolutely. Some of our video game featured articles
are some of the best
game sources on the internet. They don't go into excess detail, but they cover
the key aspects of development, story, gameplay, and reception. If one is
patient enough, encyclopedic articles will flourish out of the most crufty main
articles.
No. You absolutely musn't confuse "cruft" with "popular culture".
It's
absolutely right and fitting that we have good articles on video
games. But do we have extended articles about ever minor character in
every game, every level in every episode of every game etc? *That* is
cruft. Not a high level article situating the game in the real world,
along with a decent summary of the gameplay, plot, levels etc.
