Help with the "Play Mode" Field + Proposals

[Njsmooth]

Hello! I have a few questions about the "Play Mode" field. On LaunchBox, the 5 default options I see are:

• Single-Player
• Multiplayer
• Cooperative
• 2-Player Alternating
• 2-Player Simultaneous

From what I understand, games on the database can only be marked as the first three listed, and anything marked as "Cooperative" is also marked as "Multiplayer" (which makes sense I guess). So, what's the point of the 2-Player options? Or, better question, why aren't they part of the database? Seeing as the "Max Players" options exists, these seem redundant. Also, why not just have "Cooperative" and something like "Versus" or "Competitive"? That way, coop games don't also have to be marked as multiplayer.

 

Tl;dr, I'd like to propose the following as default play modes for simplicity, as well as incorporating a selector into the database for all modes:

• Single-Player
• Local Co-op
• Local Versus, Local Competition, Local PVP, something along those lines
• Alternating
• Online Co-op (Namely for pc games, not really thinking netplay)
• Online Vs (Or something like that)
• MMO (Debatable but I thought I'd list it)
