Re: schema.org/Game (was "Re: New schema.org release (sdo-venkman) candidate for review")

The Game / VideoGame / VideoGameSeries now looking very good.

A specific request, though (mentioned previously but perhaps buried in the
thread in which it was made); namely:

- Make "trailer" available as a VideoGame property

http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/trailer
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/VideoGame

It is currently available as a property for VideoGameSeries

http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/VideoGameSeries

... where is far less applicable.

Trailers are released for all major video games but not for video game *series
*as the content is instance-bound.

E.g.:

VideoGame = "The Sims 4"
First Look: The Sims 4 Official Gameplay Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPPjU8OARg

VideoGame = "The Sims 3"
The Sims 3 - Official E3 First Look Trailer (PC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6gXiw5URNM

VideoGame = "Madden 15"
Madden 15 Gameplay | Official Trailer | E3 2014
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUiBJy150rg
