If you search it as "omsi the bus simulator", you get more than a million results. "Omnibussimulator" is used for article title uniqueness as it is the name used in the authors' market. Official English name is "The Bus Simulator", but there are so many bus simulators out there. This article was mostly translated from German Wikipedia.

KEEP: Maybe fix the name, but the video game existed and was notable. There's nothing promoting anyone here, there's no reason to delete it.

Jovanmilic97 Yes I'm aware of the guidelines, but you're not ever going to find all the sources and in this case I don't even speak german. So I mean look at it, all these add ons from different companies, you gotta give them the benefit of the doubt that it was notable. So next I look to see if anyone is benefiting, ya know is it promotional, are the references padding someones SEO, all that. This is a videogame from 2011, so no one is benefitting. So I'd say keeping it would benefit this work as it's a valid piece of info that's probably notable.

Problem is that per
WP:NRV "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition".

Weak delete as a non-notable video game failing
WP:GNG with no multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as
WP:VG/RS. German Wiki has a review:
[2]; 4players.de looks like a magazine, so I would say it's likely reliable. There is a review from multiplayer.it
[3], which looks good, but VG/RS never established reliability of the source one way or another. According to
GR, there is a PC Gamer UK review, which I can't seem to locate in the Nov 2011 issue. I want to say more sources exist, but are not cited yet. In any case, the article is not based on these anyway, so it would be a full rewrite anyway, so deleting is not an issue. —

Shadow keep Existence of so many addons, in addition to those reviews (addons also have reviews, most done in feature-length videos, some independent, some by casual players) do make a game notable. It does not make the addons themselves, though.
