We have been running updates on the DB and site, to get in additional data on games to work through out the site. We haven't been able to do this in the past due to the shear size of several years worth of data that needed updated.
However with some additional servers and helping hands, we are working on updating all our tables to include the new information. When finalized we will have additional resolution on what version of a game you are playing, so Fallout 3 PC versus Xbox, or different regions of games with the same title. It will also fix any duplicate game name problems or game name changes like "Call of Duty: World at War". It should help us in a lot of areas of the site as well.
Also working with some 3VCE's and finishing up some tools for rapid badge updating. It has to happen after the updates, so it is actually a few more weeks out, but we can maybe do some stuff in the meantime to keep things moving on that front.
Hopefully once we are through the big changes, we can respond a lot quicker to site needs, so it should be a lot of fun!
sounds great, thanks for the update Stephen
