This should be quite easy to solve:
a) Event: name of the game is changed -> does the name already exist in another game? Or one that is at least a close match? -> Lock page and send for manual check.
b) Event: The game page is revised -> Analyse the game page. Calculate hash values that can be compared for similarity. If there is a certain similarity value with another website -> block the change and send for review.
c) To make b) even better -> in addition to a value for the entire website, create sub-values for parts of the page -> if there are too many similarities -> block the page and send it for manual review.
In order not to penalise game providers in the event of justified changes, the previous version of the page is displayed until the manual check has been completed. The title can then be sold on in the event of a "false positive".
All correct and legitimate changes could then be made automatically as before.

I switched completely to Linux at the beginning of 2017. And I have never regretted it.
And because I've spoken about my switch to friends, I can tell you about two other former Windows and now Linux users. Call me Jesus ;) :D

QuoteI remember first trying it out on Stadia (R.I.P) and being quite impressed there, and then later the Linux version when it appeared with the Steam release.Me, too!
BTW - I'm missing Stadia ...
Quoteand the good news is they have plans for more games to come.And then again only Epic Store exclusive for 1 year like Exodus? That's great. (Irony off)

Good to see. At least it's coming for Steam, after the release announced for Stadia has now fallen through:

Bluetooth support for the Stadia Controller is now live

I yesterday switched both my Stadia controllers to Bluetooth mode.
It still felt painful ... like signing divorce papers while still loving your ex-partner.
Farewell, Stadia! I will never forget you! Through your controllers, I will always be reminded of the good old days with you in the future!
EDIT/UPDATE
On the German website heise.de there is a tip for Linux users with the problem described by Liam. Here is the link and then an English translation of the German text:
https://www.heise.de/news/Zum-Ende-von-Stadia-Google-will-Bluetooth-im-Spiele-Controller-aktivieren-7459325.html
The solution: In some Linux distributions, the write permissions for USB ports must be adjusted. To do this, open a terminal, determine the bus and device number of the controller with lsusb and adjust their read and write permissions with a sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/bus/usb/<busnumber>/.
amo@amo-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 18d1:9400 Google Inc. stadia controller
amo@amo-desktop:~$ sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/bus/usb/005/003
If you want to verify the update, you have to repeat this step, because the controller gets a new device number after the update.
If the update is completed, the controller is ready for pairing and shows this by flashing orange. If this does not happen, you can always trigger it manually by holding down the Y and the Stadia button.

Quoting: loggfreakWould you still be able to win if you already have one?Yes.

Will the Killswitch case and USB-C port fit on the JSAUX docking?

Quoting: slaapliedje(...) and it absolutely will not work with the dbrand Killswitch case (the slot is too thin, and the USB-C cable won't fit into the port while the case is on.)

My official dock arrived on Friday and was immediately set up in the living room to use my Steam deck as a Stadia replacement. Works great and was ready to use after 10 minutes, including firmware update.
I have also published a post about it in the forum:
