date

[mai]

Maybe its a good idea to try to use a general usage for the date:

http://www.softpres.org/?id=:games&gameid=75

day.month.year

http://www.softpres.org/?id=:games&gameid=618

month.day.year

For me its rather confusing.
If i remember right the specifying of the date in british English is the same like the specifying of the date in german.
The US-american english is different, but this is also not the US-version.
As i have said, to prevent confusing i would try to use a general usage.

The version information shows what the game shows (or has embedded etc) exactly. This helps easily seeing if there is a known different version.
In many cases there is no way of identifying how the date was meant to be interpreted... so instead of assuming the order, we keep it as it is.

In this case there should be no confusing, because you can read the months
"May" and "Juni" in gamecode.

Why would we do that for each title?
It's better to keep it simple: stick with the format it was originally presented. If someone wants to have it understood he can do his further research.

Anyway the objection is valid.
If i see the information for both titles, then i would think the german version has been released before the english version.
OK, it was an improvment proposal only, nothing more.

TBH we thought of this before... cca 2003 I think, but thanks anyway
