Hello,
'Games' has '1st person shooter' sub-category so 'platformer' should be fine as a name.
If you look at the search form on the AppDB website, you'll see that there are more categories than in the linked file.
You can see that 'strategy games' is subdivided into 'real-time strategy', 'real-time tactics' and 'turn-based', for example, while 'action games' has no sub-category.
I believe that 'platformer' should be a sub-category of 'action games', along with 'arcade games', 'fighting games', 'brawlers', 'horizontal/vertical/tube scrolling shooters' (1st and 3rd shooters having their own separate categories).
I think that the categories have been manually updated in the SQL database on the server. Editing the linked file might not be the best approach.
Regards.
