Unnecessary separation[[edit source]]

Honestly, I don't believe the sorting of the video games in this template is in the best interests of our readers. To them, whether or not something is a valid source is meaningless, especially in a real world context such as a navbox, as not only is validity an internal Wiki solution to figuring out which sources we can and can't write articles with, the pages in the navbox is essentially a "see more" type of thing, where validity would be completely irrelevant even if we decided to use T:VS to write real world pages. I propose the change is reverted.
