Comment:

 I revisited and re-read all three PRs related to the problem. And I agree,
 that how this unfortunate is, but it is safer/better for us to still show
 the unknown variants dialog.

 The proper fix for this particular issue is to add a second file to these
 games in both engines, e.g. m4 and MADS, thus, making it clash less.

 Maybe once we have the integrity service in place, we can collect the
 needed file md5s more easily.

 Alternatively, we could add a hidden or public GUI option to always prefer
 only recognised games. So, at least the devs could be less annoyed.

 The elegant solution to this was in
 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/2959

 So, I am lowering priority for it, and willing to implement such option if
 other devs find this idea appealing.
