Combine the 4 Phantasy Star Online categories
The following titles are the original and ports/expansions of the same game:
* Phantasy Star Online
* Phantasy Star Online ver. 2 (expansion--note this is different than Phantasy Star Online 2 which is a different game and should be separate)
* Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II (port + expansion)
* Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus (essentially just a patch!)
This was previously proposed and implemented with https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discovery-browsing-and-searching/suggestions/39303526-combine-the-5-phantasy-star-online-categories -- since then, the implementation was mostly undone, with all categories except Blue Burst mysteriously returning without announcement or explanation.
When the categories were consolidated previously, it was implemented simply as hiding the other categories, instead of truly "combining" them, and the box-art lacking "Phantasy Star Online" was chosen. Followers should transfer and the resulting category should use one of the excellent cover arts available from the categories. (Or use the art from https://www.igdb.com/games/phantasy-star-online since it isn't applied to that category already for some reason.)
Alternatively, implement "super categories" to avoid the need to follow 4 individual games for this relatively small community.

I completely agree with your proposal to consolidate the Phantasy Star Online categories. It makes sense to combine the original game, its expansions, and ports into a single category to avoid confusion and streamline the user experience. Given that Phantasy Star Online ver. 2, Episode I & II, and Episode I & II Plus are essentially iterations of the same core game, merging them into one category would provide a more cohesive and organized view. The previous attempt at consolidation, which only hid the other categories rather than truly combining them, didn’t fully address the issue. Implementing a true combination with proper box-art and transferring followers would create a more unified representation. Alternatively, the idea of “super categories” could also effectively manage related games while keeping the community connected. Either approach would improve the browsing and searching experience for fans of the series. Using https://academized.com/college-paper-writing-service was a great decision for me. The service provided a well-crafted college paper that was both informative and engaging. The writer adhered to all my guidelines and even exceeded my expectations with the depth of research and analysis included in the paper. The writing was clear and precise, and the paper was delivered right on time. I was very happy with the final product and would recommend this service to anyone needing help with their college papers.

Makes total sense to do this. All of these are the same game.

Blue Burst was restored as a category, so this is now an ask to combine the 5 categories once again.

I kinda can't believe that this is broken again after being fixed. Well, here we go again.
