I was browsing the database and on the Echannel: New Paint Park page, it is written in comment : PCSC-00043: Free version, like it was the same game. However, it possess a different serial, a diferent game size, and it is treated as a different game by both no intro (https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=show_record&s=92&n=09865 vs https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=show_record&s=92&n=00536) and no pay station.

Shouldn't it be separated and treated as it's own entity/game ?

【無料版】えちゃんねる~NEW ペイントパーク~
【無料版】= Free version

It is some kind of demo imo...
- unlike PCSC-00038 it doesn't have DLC;
- unlike digest ver. of Open Me it doesn't have trophy list.

Maybe I'm wrong... Let's discuss ;)

I'd say it's sit right in the middle, as it's more like a limited version of the game, a bit like the shareware version of Doom.

Also, there's never any mention of the word Demo in the Json, it says Freemium at best (would be interesting to compare to a real demo).

If it's important enough to be mentioned in the comments, I feel it could have it's own entry.

But in the end you're the one that will have the last word.

Truth to be told, I would personally find interesting to add to the database all the demos, at they are still a downloadable and a playable content from the Store. We could argue that it is more important to preserve and document them than to preserve the Youtube app, as the demo is the one that is the most game-like if you could say that.

As long as a release is important enough to warrant a dedicated serial number. I feel like it need it's own entry in a database that wants to be complete, at least as much as DLCs.

But it's only a personal opinion of course, you're the one that created and maintain the database it belongs to you to decide that. The work you've done so far really is incredible. You are the one that should decide (and it would be a fucking long work).

Also 【無料版】えちゃんねる~NEW ペイントパーク~ is not considered a demo by the No intro team as it would be written (demo) after the name of the file (yes i'm looking for all the arguments I can ;) ).
