Okay, I feel like this thread may get auto-locked because of a discussion on this sometime in the past, but I need to voice my opinion. It's always bugged me how we have a same but more specific version of Development Hell specifically for Video Games, especially since, from my experience in the past, most Tropers still link to Development Hell when talking about the long production history of video games.

In my opinion, having two of what is essentially the same trope but one specific to video games is both redundant and only causes confusion. The examples listed under Vaporware can easily just be given their own sub-page like films and music currently have, and Tropers wouldn't have to keep in mind that there are two different tropes on the same subject when adding examples.
