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
