Is there a practically universal Id for games like there is an id for movies and tv shows like IMDb ?

Imdb was also never official indexer. Just one with best indexes.

Steam's app id could work.

Steam does not have all games, not sure if they index games they don't sell?

I think Degmods does not have a unique ID

Best I found was igdb but it's owned by twitch, but they do have human readable IDs which is great.

Doesn't seem so AND what a great opportunity! Generate one as first 8 digits of hash of title, platform, initial year of release.

Or just make it a readable id from the name , igdb already does that. I'll do it on pollerama.
