How can I figure out if a game has been deleted? Is this reflected in the /Games/Updates API call somehow?
For new games, an update entry with type "game" and value "[NEW]" is returned, maybe deleted games return "[DELETED]"?
Relatedly, is there a list somewhere of all the possible update entry types ("game", "platform", "boxart", etc)? Right now I'm just kinda making my own list based on what I see in manual calls to the endpoint, but I might miss something if it doesn't happen very often.

Re: Deleted games
Updates API returns [REMOVED] for deleted games.
Re: Deleted games
as [mention]edirol[/mention] have mentioned, [REMOVED] is used when game or image is removed.
as for the types it's this for now, the type is just based field you'd find in game an images

publisher (if not removed, to be removed)

platform

all_images (this is used when a game is deleted and ALL images are removed along side it, though the should be implied when you see a game being removed)
fanart

Re: Deleted games
Thanks!
*edit* I'm assuming genre is on the way out aswell, in favor of genres? I haven't seen it in any updates, so maybe it's already gone.
