Default Field for game developer/publisher?

I don't know if this suggestion came up before, but how about a field for the developer and/or publisher of the actual game? I'd like to browse through the db only displaying albums from specific companies, e.g. Toaplan <3

I can kind of agree with that field, but I think first the Product Represented Field would need to be filled in, this way you can go to one you know of that Toaplan made and then search through them from the game itself.

I assume organizations is the field you are referring to.

Yeah, I noticed that field. But I couldn't find any example where a company is actually listed

We've recently added the "Organizations" fields to the product page. That field is intended to hold the game developers and publishers. I think it makes more sense to put this there than on the albums pages. Not very many of them are filled out right now because the field was only recently added.

Ah thanks for clarification. Would it be possible to allow access for 'normal' users to edit that field or shall I remain silent and wait?

I think we could give access to that, and perhaps I'll try to speed that process up. Right now only staff can do anything with products, but I'm opening it up to Trusted Editors very soon.
