Allow narrators to delete games
It's great that we can retire games, but we should still have the ability to delete a game. Not all narrators are treated well and not all games have cooperative players. If the narrator wishes to withdraw the effort and be done with it, they should have the right to-- they're the ones doing the lion's share of the effort. How did this get taken from us with 10 votes?

We will figure out a way to allow game deletion while also respecting players’ rights to their own content. This may take a bit because our current architecture doesn’t support editing a game’s history, extracting a specific user’s contributions, or exporting game content. All of these things are planned, though.

I agree with OP. The narrator and host should have total control over whether or not a game is deleted. Sometimes something goes wrong. Sometimes newcomers want to learn the game with their friends through a "crash course". It shouldn't go through a system of "verifying if everyone's okay with it" and having it pass through a moderator or something.
Literally no other website does this. And I peruse a lot of roleplaying websites.

Surely you could just send all of the content to all of the players? They've all got access to it (and could copy it) anyway.
That certainly doesn't breach either copyright or privacy legislation in my jurisdiction.

Glad to see this is being reviewed, because it's an important feature with Storium's terms of service. The license that is granted to Storium regarding a user's content is pretty standard for social networks, but other social networks let the user void the license by deleting the content. If we can't delete content, that extends the license too far.

There's also a bug where if a game has ever had a character submitted it can't be deleted, even if it hasn't started and has no approved characters.
