804:... a few days later, I feel pretty confident this is well on its way, after several review processes, and 4 unanimous supporters on this latest round alone. I don't want to rush this process, and my real hope is to start another FA process and continue improving other articles. Let me know if I would have permission to start in on that.
488:
Thanks for the clarifications — and apologies, I did not see that "See also" section. The article looks nice by now; last stuff I would ask is have all the dollars consistent to US$ , and add {{Main|Sega v. Accolade|''Sega v. Accolade''}} at the top of "Console and legal challenges (1990–1993)". Once

The "renamed" part in the first sentence is because people do search for
Infogrames North America, which is the name of Accolade after it had been changed. That said, if it's enough to have the bolded part in the third paragraph, at the end of its life, I could be talked into removing it. Trying to

I'm nominating this after a few rounds of work and review. The previous FA-nomination(s) failed. I became busy during the first nomination, which was closed with some suggestions I didn't get to at the time. I have since incorporated the feedback, then sought a peer review for even more feedback. I

This article is about a historic video game developer and publisher. They are of major importance in the early game industry, featuring veterans from highly notable peers such as Atari and
Activision. They went on to create several notable franchises, especially in sports. Things get shaky in their

There was a consensus that the uncited statement at the end is needed, because it objectively summarizes the other sources without making any novel claims. You could remove this sentence and just leave it at the previous sentence, which says "Infogrames had merged
Infogrames North America into
950:"The Accolade brand was revived in 2018, when Hong Kong-based holding company Billionsoft acquired their former assets, leading to new Bubsy games published by Tommo". As noted last time around, the text gives a date of 2017 and does not mention new publications (just plans for such)

Alright I gave the article a basic read-through and the only comment I have is admittedly pretty nitpicky. In the section "Console and legal challenges (1990–1993)", the hatnote below the image looks very poor for me as a mobile reader. Could it be moved above the image perhaps?
106:
The article is comprehensive, well-researched, well-cited, neutral, and stable, using images in compliance with fair use. I feel optimistic that this article is close enough to the
Featured article criteria that I can work on any remaining issues through this process.

Infogrames Inc". But people have a hard time understanding what all these corporate renames and restructurings mean. This last part is added for clarity: it means
Accolade was merged, renamed, then slowly dissolved into raw assets for another company. It's gone.

You'll find that I addressed all of your comments from the first nomination. Happy to keep working on new suggestions, and trying to save time for all of us by not re-treading the same ground again.

after the much appreciated source review from
Nikkimaria. Would this now qualify as a pass, or at least good enough to start another featured article nomination while I wait for further feedback?
947:"the cost of the lawsuit was a financial strain for the company". The text says it was the impact of the injunction, rather than the actual cost of the lawsuit - which is correct?
408:"This marked the end of Infogrames North America as a separate company and what was left of Accolade as an entity." Just wanna ask clarification regarding the no citation here.
