Hi. When you have the time, I was hoping you could clarify something for me; I just foudn out that apparently, to be listed as a Video Game Villain, a character has to originate from a video game, meaning that if they're featured in a in a video game adaptation of another type of work, they apparently don't count. Is this really true, and if so, why is that the case? I don't have any strong feelings about it regardless of what the answer is, but it does seem strange to me if that's indeed the condition, because even if a character does't originally come from a video game, whether it's a series or standalone game, they still technically qualify if they've been in one, and played a similarly antagonistic role like they did in their original work.
