Giving this a lookover "Gameography" should definitely be renamed to "Games" or "Games Developed." The list is also quite long and may need its own article. NightFire19 ( talk) 04:43, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Here we go:
In addition to the specific points raised above, it does seem like the article is a little light on corporate history. Its missing Frisina's departure in 1987 when he was forced out by Miller over company strategy and his replacement by former Activision VP of operations Allan Epstein. Epstein himself left in 1991, and Miller took direct control as CEO until the VCs brought in Harris. Its also missing the ruinous financial impact of the Sega case, which is a big part of the reason they needed to seek VC funding in the first place. Its also missing the Warner Music Group investment in the company in early 1995 following the Prudential investment. In exchange, Warner became Accolade's worldwide distributor, which lasted until the EA deal. There are a frustrating lack of articles on Accolade out there since it was a pretty small closely-held company for most of its existence, but some of this personnel change info at least appeared in the SF Chronicle, which can be found in places like Newsbank, which I realize requires membership with a library that has the proper subscription. Still, not having some of this in the article does result in a few holes. Its not an FA nomination, so comprehensiveness is not a requirement, but it would be nice if we can get a little more of this in there.
Overall, this article is very well-written and informative. I feel it is close to GA status, so I will go ahead and put this nomination
On hold while these concerns are addressed.

Okay, it took a little longer than I planned, but I corralled some sources to better document all the management changes at the company between 1988 and 1995 and added that material to the article. I think we are good now, so I will go ahead and promote. Thank you for all your hard work on the article! Indrian ( talk) 18:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
