Withdrawn by nominator. Print sources exist (for someone who can get past the paywall) and there is no opposition. Speedy keep #1. czar · · 04:05, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. GNews and HighBeam searches show coverage of this product in multiple independent sources. Many are behind paywalls but I added a few that were not. Appears to have been a notable Microsoft parody and passes GNG. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:26, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Wasn't able to replicate on GNews. And since the added refs only mention the game in a cursory fashion, I think we'd have trouble (1) passing the "significant coverage" GNG criteria, and (2) having enough detailed secondary coverage for a full encyclopedia article. czar · · 06:02, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - While the current sourcing is borderline, with only the PC Gamer review being substantive, there is other significant RS coverage out there. A Google Books search turned up articles in Computer Gaming World, Time, and Business Week. —Torchiest talkedits 13:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
