I was thinking that Armor Games should have a genre for nothing but Upgrade Games anybody else agree?

I really don't know what to say without hurting your feelings. It is obvious you posted this the second it came into your mind. Why, because it doesn't make sense. I understand you probably played Upgrade Complete (I think that's the name) or launcher-style games, but that game is just an Arcade game. Most games require the player to upgrade some part of the game. i.e. there is no way to determine what games would fall under this category. If you are talking about adding a Launcher genre I am for that, but I don't think this is what your idea was.

Well, you have to be more specific about what you want, since ''Upgrade'' Games is rather vague. As Soy mentioned, are they Launcher Games or games that involve upgrading?

The only thing that would make sense is a launcher game.

I have thought about this more and realized you can't have a genre based on upgrading. Upgrading is a game mechanic. It is like having platforms, jumping, swimming. You can't have a genre about it. You can have a tag for upgrading though.

Unless he means solely for Upgrade Complete? I'm just confused by the OP here.

I still think there needs to be more Genres, such as TD or RTS, or things like that.
