Thanks for bringing life to this well-written article that you have clearly put some good work into. I think this is unfortunately a WP:QF on the basis that it is a long way from satisfying breadth of coverage of the topic. This is mostly because the article largely lacks what I would consider sufficient sourcing.

The available sources have WP:SIGCOV and commentary about the circumstances of the creation and shutdown of the game, such as the Kotaku and Wired sources. What the article lacks is evidence of reception from reliable sourcing such as WP:VG/S usual for WP:VG/MOS. Currently, the Sydney Morning Herald is the only source that evidences an independent opinion about the game. Given that [7] is trivial coverage, this is a very limited evidence base for an article, most sources of which did not play the game and are only talking about its surrounding circumstances and what the release information states. This makes it what could theoretically be a sound candidate for a WP:MERGE with the overarching series, although I do not propose to do this.

I understand this may be disappointing but remember that this process can only improve articles, and encourage you to see if there is sourcing out there to build up this article. You may like to check out the Internet Archive and the WP:VG/SE as different approaches if you have not done so already, although the conflation with Streets of Rage may make this a little tricky. Remember that the GAN process has no fetters and you can resubmit a GAN at any time. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
