| 1 | Original release | FirstEvery (planned) release of a game for a new platform requires a new RG. The standard case here is the first-time release of the game's full version for a new platform. RG's for unreleased games, i. e. games in development, cancelled games, or Vaporware, also get the reason "Original release", because development always aims for the original release of a full version. The information about the release state are stored elsewhere. | |
| 2 | Demo / Promo release | Release of a limited version of a game for promotional purposes. If a demo or promo version was released on a platform before the full version, a RG with the reason "Demo / Promo release" shall be chosen. This is even true if a platform saw a demo release only, like it is the case for many browser demos of the gameWindows games or some cancelled games, because we want to clearly separate the demo versions from the full versions. | |
| 3 | Enhanced re-release | Enhanced release of a game that has already seen a Case 1. | |
| 4 | Remake | Release of a game' remake where the gameplay stays basically unchanged, but graphics / sound / UI have been adopted to modern hardware. Note: the remake shall be marketed as such. | |
| 5 | Heavily censored release | This is for game releases that have been so severely censored that they should not be grouped together with the uncensored releases any more. |
