Cut Content is not really an accurate name for the article. Not all changes to the GTA Games were cuts. There were also some character and naming tweaks, like Tommy Vercetti's Hawaiian shirt.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 01:27, 28 September 2011 (BST)

:I agree. Whilst 'cut content' is a succinct way of putting it, "cut" only covers removed content, like the plane-crash mission. There are many different types of pre-release game alterations - some cuts, some alterations, some improvements, some bugfixes. Either we split them up, or we use a title that encompasses them all. I think "Beta" covers them all but again is not technically accurate (as they aren't all from public beta versions), whilst "pre-release" is a bit awkward to type (although beta will redirect). I think it should be "[beta/pre-release] [changes/alternations]". On top of this, there are version changes - things that were one way in the first version but changed in a later version (such as [[Hot Coffee]] removal and [[PC]] versions), so maybe we should include these from an all-encompassing "game alterations" or "changed content" page? These are all similar changes made by the devs to the game, the only difference is whereabouts on the release timeline the change is made (pre-dev, pre-beta, pre-release, post-release, pre-different-console-release). We could easily have a table with a column indicating what type of alteration it is. I think "Changed Content" is the closest one we have so far.

My proposal is that we rename the page to "Prerelease Content". That title covers everything and basically sums up the article in two words.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 02:32, 28 September 2011 (BST)

:But as I mentioned, pre-release doesn't cover changes made after release, such as removing [[Hot Coffee]] or changes between PS2/PC versions of games, both which I think logically fit with the other things in this article.
