For our context, it doesn't matter what a "game" is. What matters is if the
d20SRD rules are used by the software to determine the result. If they are,
it's a d20 game. If they are not, it is not a d20 game. However the
wording does not specify this. Myself and several others have all offered
better wording that is clearer and more accurate, all without defining what
a "game" is.
