AppDB: how to handle the same application (specifically game) from different vendors.

[Reece Dunn]

Hi,

While testing various casual games and adding the information to the
AppDB, I have noticed something.

The various casual game websites (such as Oberon Media/MSN, PopCap
Games and Yahoo! Games) have several games that are the same (such as
Bejeweled 2, Dinner Dash 2 and Zuma), but are packaged using different
installers and have different splash screens. I haven't investigated
to see if this extends to the loading screen as well, or if they
behave differently.

The AppDB already supports different versions, but I believe these are
specific to one vendor. So the question is how to support the same
game published from different vendors?
