As of right now, this page has 3000 titles or something like that. The true total for PC releases is closer to 50,000-100,000, so maybe 4000 per letter. There are just over 50,000 games on Steam alone. https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category1=998 In 2014 there was a polygon article about a Pastebin user who recruited people to help him build a database of all games and it was 44,000 titles, a good portion of those were probably on PC. https://www.polygon.com/2014/4/20/5633602/list-of-every-video-game-all-time The list is unavailable now, I think the user probably used it to create a large videogame database website, but I can't even find the site now because of Google's algorithm.
This list has 60,000 titles. https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/windows/
I will begin adding games shortly if nobody else does. BTW, why is there no symbols page?

Games that can be played on PC via emulators should be included on this list. They're not "PC games" under the hood, but the code they contain is completely playable on PC with applications that interpret it into a living game. Much like how a Flash game isn't native to PC, but flash player deciphers the gibberish inside the file into a living game. Wikinium ( talk) 03:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
I don't think so. This list is for titles specifically made for PC. If you mean stuff like N64, SNES... Just about every old game is playable on PC via emulator, that's actually the entire point of console emulation. It would be nice however, to have a grand-master list of emulator compatibility for PC, for example combining the RPCS3 and Xenia compatibility lists. But I'm not even sure that belongs on Wikipedia at the moment.
This article needs to be split, but it must be done gracefully. What kind of split can be done where the article still looks good (not all hacked up)? Wikinium ( talk) 03:50, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
There are many already added to the page. It's understandable that some would want them excluded since they weren't originally created to run on Windows, Linux, or OSX via emulation, but by that logic it would make sense to exclude any DOSBox games as well. As long as a game can be emulated, it shouldn't matter what console or retro computer it originally came from. Wikinium ( talk) 03:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
We should be able to know where the game can be obtained from, like Steam.

There is already a list of Windows games, should the list of PC games also include windows games also? StarStorm10 ( talk) 13:12, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
