Escape from tarkov was also one I believe they have been removed. I'm not exactly sure how it's even possible though for games with names that already exist.
As someone else mentioned, there's literally new games coming out with the same title as older games, so that's not really an issue. The bigger issue is for a dev can just change their studio name and publisher name to match another? Because the orderly copied everything on the official Helldivers page.
