Lots of wrong dates in games
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2020 2:36 pm
I see many, many games have a release date of "1970-01-01" (this is the placeholder date in the new game form, and is equal to timestamp 0, which is a valid timestamp)
My proposal:
* For "unknown dates" the database should store "0000-00-00" (or null)
* Make the release date field mandatory (without placeholder value) in the "new game form". If unknown, allow a checkbox to explicitly set it to 0000-00-00 / null
