Needs bio section

edit

If David Gottlieb isn't going to have his own article any time soon, he at least needs to have a biographical section here, because he's linked to directly at articles like Baffle Ball. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs. 05:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Best known for…"?

edit
Gottlieb (formerly D. Gottlieb & Co.) was an American arcade game corporation based in Chicago, Illinois. It is best known for developing the arcade game Q*bert.

I vaguely remember they produced that title, but why would it be considered more significant than the vast number of other games they produced? Gottlieb's page at Arcade Museum doesn't even mention Q*Bert. And of course, that title was based on a classic arcade game that well preceded it. I'm willing to be wrong, of course, but it seems unlikely a pinball company with such a long, colorful history would be primarily remembered for a spin-off property—not even from a movie or TV show, but another game. – AndyFielding (talk) 23:15, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I completely agree with you here on that, and I only came here to the talk page to discuss taking that out. I had no idea they may Q*Bert, so it's great information to keep in there. But I'm not here reading this article for Q*Bert, and I don't think too many other pinheads are either. They are best known for what they did most, which is clearly all the pinball machines listed below. Fixing it now. 96.233.56.201 (talk) 06:02, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
