VideoGameGeek (Q74864565), a sister-database to BoardGameGeek (Q887528) and RPG Geek (Q64848366), has entries for over 47,500 video game (Q7889) (and expansion pack (Q209163), downloadable content (Q1066707) ; interestingly, add-ons have a separate URL-prefix videogameextension, but the ID resolved nonetheless, as shown in the examples).
