This is a replacement of {{Game release}} and many others similar to it, combining all of these into one. When this template was good enough, the original "{{Game release}}", "{{Game announced}}" (and variants of this templates, or similar) will be replaced with something similar to {{Banned spammer}}, a redirect page that automatically calls {{Software status}} with {{{type|game}}} instead.
