Quoted from robin:I'm not sure if further separating these into two records adds much value?
Yes, these variant editions tend to sell for different prices. AC/DC is another example of this with multiple premium/LE variants.
Two additional titles that need splitting:
Wizard of Oz
The Hobbit

Quoted from titanpenguin:It would just get way to confusing and really doesn’t add much, other than bragging rights.
The individual editions can be grouped/linked now under a single title, so it's not quite as confusing.
I don't think it has anything to do with "bragging rights". I think it's better for pricing data and historical data to document all these editions. You can't deny that these editions exist and that there are differences between the editions (some relatively minor, but some significant).
Sometimes vault editions include improvements over the original. So, they aren't exactly the same.
I think it's more confusing for people not having these editions documented. Back when JJP was releasing edition after edition of WOZ, I was confused as to which edition included what features. So, I eventually documented them on pinwiki just to help keep track of them.
The same situation with MET and AC/DC--there are various editions of those, and honestly, I really don't know what all the differences are between them. But I think it would be helpful to make note of them and what exactly each edition looks like and/or includes.
Quoted from Damonator:I agree with you that Star Trek LE is one of the prettiest LEs that's ever been made and it should be rated highly. But, under the current system, a deservedly high score for Star Trek LE propels the *whole* game to the #2 spot. That's what is broken - Star Trek is not and and should not be the #2 game just because they knocked it out of the park on the LE trim package. That's why an average of all 3 trim levels would be more accurate for an overall ranking position.
I don't think it's broken.
A game title's editions are grouped together.
The top score of that group determines the title's overall rank. That way, a particular editions doesn't unfairly act as a boat anchor dragging down the game title.
Just tap/click the game title on the list, and it shows all the editions and their scores.
Personally, I think it's a lot more understandable than having multiple editions of the same title scattered around on the list. That would dilute the overall rankings and be unfair against titles that only have one edition.
Not every LE edition ranks higher than the other editions. Occasionally, they rank lower.
Quoted from Betelgeuse:the owners rate the game
It's not just owners who rate their own games. Sometimes they have friends over, host events/tournaments, or sometimes the games are accessible in public or at shows. I know of a few business owners and operators who specifically buy LEs to put on location.
You aren't going to be limited to just game owners rating a specific game edition.
