Hello,

'Games' has '1st person shooter' sub-category so 'platformer' should be fine as
a name.

If you look at the search form on the AppDB website, you'll see that there are
more categories than in the linked file.

You can see that 'strategy games' is subdivided into 'real-time strategy',
'real-time tactics' and 'turn-based', for example, while 'action games' has no
sub-category.

I believe that 'platformer' should be a sub-category of 'action games', along
with 'arcade games', 'fighting games', 'brawlers', 'horizontal/vertical/tube
scrolling shooters' (1st and 3rd shooters having their own separate
categories).

I think that the categories have been manually updated in the SQL database on
the server. Editing the linked file might not be the best approach.

Regards.
