Nominator's rationale: Per the June 2016 CfD for role-playing video games by period, the January 2017 CfD for visual novels by period, and the WikiProject Video games discussion, the current consensus is that "video games by genre by year" is overcategorization.--IDVtalk 15:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Categories by genre and decade; and do that as well with the categories already deleted (RPGs and visual novels). If I understand it right, those categories were deleted because there's not much difference between a game which came out in 1995 or 1996; however, there is a large difference between games that came out in 1996 and 2016. A cross-categorization by decade would allow us to find games in the same genre from the same period, with similar technological and gameplay styles. Grouping by decade (or maybe even every 5 years) would allow us to provide structure and handle the growth of the insanely large Category:Role-playing video games Diego (talk) 16:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as nominated per precedent. This appears to be the last breakdown of overcategorized game genres by year. czar 18:41, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Listen: "by year" is the most important wikipedia category for video games. It's only reason I come here.I'm kind of a big deal and you should listen to me! Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:8780:1E94:D4E3:291C:E1DF:2869 (talk) 11:26, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge as nominated - The basic principle here has already been thoroughly discussed in the above mentioned CfDs, but categories which combine multiple unrelated characteristics results in articles falling into an excessive number of categories, multiplies the amount of category upkeep required, and makes the category system many times more complicated without in any way adding to its usefulness.--Martin IIIa (talk) 14:30, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as nominated per arguments raised at similar CFD. --The1337gamer (talk) 19:27, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
