Expected behavior

Two entries for King's Quest, as Steam and GOG have listings for the same game as different versions. Perhaps label the GOG version as "King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown" so that it's obviously part of the rest of the GOG collection?

Actual behavior

One entry, with two quite different games.

I don't think it's a bug or that something can be done in GameHub.

Both games are named "King's Quest" so they will be merged together if merging is enabled.

This is unfortunate. I suppose that there aren't likely enough games with the same name but different content across the supported platforms to make it worthwhile to make a merging exception list. A user-generated "don't merge these titles, please" list would probably be hellish to troubleshoot performance issues with, too. I could see a situation where someone has different DLC for the same game across the services.

I don't think that's a common issue and the only idea I have is to add a "don't merge this game" flag. It's possible, but IMO it will add even more unnecessary clutter to UI and it may also affect performance.

Wontfix for now.
