Please incorporate VNDB metadata import

Issue #1870 open

I notice that while your existing Game Database is extensive, it lacks entries for many visual novel-style games. I find this rather annoying, especially since many VNs are on Steam and those that aren't I generally run in emulator programs like the ones integrated into Launchbox. It really sucks that I have to manually enter in all of the metadata for every one of my 70+ VN games. If possible, Please either incorporate VNDB.org's Database into the Game Database, or add a separate linkup to allow users to obtain metadata from the site. I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Games DB Issue section, since it pertains to both.

    Does anyone even read these things? I've been left for over 2 years without hearing a response!

    Hi Austin, I’m sorry you’re frustrated with us. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that we have to work on features that the community as a whole wants the most. Unfortunately VNDB metadata imports aren’t likely to be high up on that list. In the past couple of years we have built a tremendous amount of features, and we regularly poll the community to find out what the most wanted features are. We have to focus on those most-requested features.
