Comment (by i30817):

 I'm wrong about this.

 Sort of. Only ags games without a recognized variant (even if they dont
 match) behave like this.

 So for instance today's build didn't recognize the games "sequence break"
 and "


 So if I do in order


 s$ scummvm -a -p ScummVM_AGS/sequence_break/
 error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
 WARNING: FSNode::createReadStream: 'scummvm.ini' does not exist!
 Default configuration file missing, creating a new one
 The game in 'sequence_break' seems to be an unknown game variant.
 Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at
 https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add
 and
 its version, language, etc.:
 Matched game IDs for the ags engine: ags-fallback

   {"sequence break.ags", 0, "1a80f829b0739c6db5ac4141eb880b82", 28319904},
 Game Added:
   Target:   ags-fallback
   GameID:   ags:ags
   Name:     Unknown AGS game (sequence break.ags)
   Language: (null)
   Platform: Default
 Added 1 games




 And

 $ scummvm -a -p ScummVM_AGS/dead_cipher/
 error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
 The game in 'dead_cipher' seems to be an unknown game variant.
 Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at
 https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add
 and
 its version, language, etc.:
 Matched game IDs for the ags engine: ags-fallback

   {"dead cipher.ags", 0, "03e5683e257dec3ed3114b4bc98b70f3", 220117437},
 Found ags:ags, but has already been added, skipping
 Added 0 games
 Consider using --recursive to search inside subdirectories



 If I add then on reverse order the first is added


 Games which the detector figures out are a variant end up with the variant
 I'd so don't trigger this.
