 Replying to [comment:3 criezy]:
 > Being an AGS game, the new version should be playable even before we had
 an explicit detection for it.
 I think the issue occurred like this
 1. He added the Steam version of Heroine's quest when it was properly
 detected by version 2.7.0/1
 2. The game updated on Steam
 3. Now the entry in the gamelist doesn't work anymore because the old
 detection entry used "heroine's quest.exe" but the new version is
 "heroine's quest.ags"
 But as explained before it's just a matter of re-adding the game to
 ScummVM

 > And to clarify, the online services to check game files checkshums that
 is being worked on is not meant to fix this issue. As far as I know it is
 not designed to replace or even complement game detection, but to check
 that game files are not corrupted, or missing.
 I'm almost sure that among the integrity service discussion, there was a
 proposal to move the biggest detection tables (AGS, Director) to a similar
 service. But I don't know if it's feasible, if it was scrapped or put on
 indefinite hold
