Lets take a look at the games page rn:
Now lets point out a few things.
Every time you make a place, it automatically makes a new universe game. You can’t delete these games either, and you can’t make your own without making a place. This really doesn’t make sense. Honestly, Universes should be create-able and delete-able. Also, shouldn’t the name of the game be the title in the games page?
Notice how the univese title isn’t on the main place. Very inconsistent and weird.
I believe this is how they should be implemented:
When you create a new place, it does not automatically create a game. It instead asks you if you would like to add it to an already existing game. Depending on your option, it will either create a new game to contain the place, add it to an existing game, or not add it to any game at all. If the place is not part of a game, it’s unplayable.
(The way I wanted it originally was that places that aren’t part of games are playable, but this would remove a lot of options that are only available to games and screw up some of my other ideas.)
If you decide to add the place to an existing game, you have an option to set it to the main place automatically.

In the games page, you can create new games AND delete games. If you refer to the first picture, you’ll see I have two places that don’t have a starting place and would very much like to remove them.
EDIT: Let me add that it would also be nice to archive places. Some people have way too many places and would really like to be able to hide them in the develop page, allowing them to concentrate on their latest projects.
–
When viewing the game from the actual game place (refer to the 3rd picture,) the title should be of the game, not the place. This means that pictures, logo, gamepasses, badges, etc. should also be part of the game settings and not place settings.
(This one would be a very big update as it will change all the games on roblox, but it would make more sense for it to work this way imo. Of course, this could be done later, the other ones shouldn’t be that hard to implement.)

Why?
When I look at the game and place tab of the develop page, it looks like a mess. This is inevitable as games were added much later. The goal of this feature request is to implement games in a way they make sense.
And these are all my opinions. If someone has a better way of fixing the weirdness of games and places, please post below.
