Problem changing Windows platform name with Storefronts auto-import

[DeCeballos]

Hi, I'm having a problem with this, I changed the platform name from "Windows" to "Microsoft Windows" to make it more consistent with the default platform names. By doing so, I agree to change the content directories as requested, keeping the "scrape as" tab on "Windows". The problem is that if I purchase a new game from Steam or Epic Games they are auto-imported to a new platform called "Windows" that is generated for that. My storefronts are set to auto-import correctly. I want every new game I download from the storefronts to automatically import to "Microsoft Windows" and not create the "Windows" platform again every time.

It sounds like a limitation to the auto-import storefront feature. I'll add it to the list for us to take a look at. There are some challenges there, as there's nothing stopping a user from importing multiple platforms where the scrape as value is set to "Windows" making it a question of now where do the new games go?
