HI ALL,

on my site i plan on having more then one game till the games get to big to have on one site.

So my question is I started with a different login for each game. then I built a main site to do one login for all games.
this has completed thing more then I thought.
My question is it worth it or should I just go back one login and one db per game?

Cheers

It depends on what image you want to project about your site. If you are actively presenting these games as being part of something bigger, such as your studio's umbrella, a specific platform, etc., then yes, you should make them all have the same login. However, if the games just share a common site and make little acknowledgement to the others, I would keep them separate so they can grow, succeed or fail in isolation. That is at least my take on it.

If you do want to make them all the same login, you may just want to create a separate, generic accounts database that all games reference, and then keep the game-specifics in their own databases.
