{{Cite digital game}} is for use when citing video, tablet, or mobile games. It is based on {{Cite book}}, initially taken with permission from the Forgotten Realms Wiki, and Wikipedia's "Cite video game" template. Use this template when you want to cite a game. You can use sub-templates, such as {{Cite digital game/Kingmaker}}, to easily cite certain existing games. If no sub-template exists for the game that you wish to cite, you can still use this template manually.
