The lists of 'related games' in the right column are either empty or similar the '<objectname> games' in the middle column. So what's the purpose of 'related games'?
Not an official word or anything, but I think it's just a crossover of the ones from the middle. 'Cause when you go to a game page, say GTA IV, you can both select Similar Games from the left hand column, and see it in the right hand column. When looking at baseball bat, I think it just displays the ones from Games(selected on the left) in both the middle and right. Probably just an overlook on the development side.
The object doesn't need related games (I don't think), but it's definitely useful for justifying its creation. For instance- a sword, a very typical RPG weapon with vast permutations. You could make a huge list of games that are associated with that object. The same with individual weapons.
I feel I'm misunderstood. A list of games that involve a baseball bat is fine. But there are 2 lists, one in the middle and one on the right. So the one on the right is useless.
Now if Breton was right and it's a 1 on 1 pure copy, I don't really mind however it would be cleaner if the devs disabled showing the 2nd list. If it's not a 1 on 1 copy, we're generating a lot unsorted data that will be a pain to clean up.
