(You should probably read the post.) Problem: There are tons of different game types available for you to create and play. But these types are far too specific? What if you want to make a sci-fi strategy gamelike Starcraft, or a city-based FPS like every FPS released so far this confounded decade?
Solution: Game Type & Game Genre.
How it'd work: On the screen where you edit what your game is called and stuff, under where you can edit the place's genre, there will be a similar selection, except instead of saying things like "Military" or "Town and City," it says different genres of games, such as "TPS" and "Obby". Likewise, in the Games drop-down menu, where you can select game genres, there will be a similar selection as before, with different types. There, one could either select a genre, a type, or both. One would access the game screen by clicking "Go" on the menu.
Benefits: Games could be more easily found, and new, innovative ideas could be discovered with ease. Achieving more specificity while decreasing it would pretty much lead to a new way of thinking and, potentially, a better community in general.

Finally, someone who doesn't support one of my ideas for an actual reason.
Also, I don't see how it'd be confusing. As I said in my post, a player could still search for a game by genre only, or by the new type, or by both. If anything, it should make searching for specific games easier. |

It was literally only a change in some wordings, I didn't even consider it a minor update. |

| Okay, I swear once I get a consistent computer I'll post here more. It's harder than I thought to maintain my forum standing on an iPod Touch (TM). |
