Would it be possible (with a database query or something) to automatically assign a genre en-masse to all games in a particular group? It would greatly help in populating several of the newly introduced genres.

The following groups are now redundant, now that we have the new genres:

• Genre: 4X
• Genre: Rail shooter
• Genre: Tower defense
• Genre: Tactical shooter
• Genre: Beat 'em up / Brawler
• Genre: Falling block puzzle
• Rogue variants / Roguelikes
• Artillery variants
• Time Management games
• Genre: Trading / Collectible cards
• Word Construction games
Additionally, the following groups aren't redundant, but it can be assumed that each game in the group fits a specified genre:
• Genre: Stunt racing (Tricks / Stunts)
• Genre: Grand strategy (Wargame + War)
• Genre: Party / Mini-game (Mini-Games)
• Genre: Simulation - Medical (Healthcare)
• Genre: Open world driving (Sandbox / Open World)
• Genre: Open world / Free-roaming / Sandbox action and driving (Sandbox / Open World)
• Genre: Wilderness Survival (Survival)
• Genre: Simulation - Space combat (Space Flight + Vehicular Combat Simulator)
• Genre: Simulation - City building (City Building / Construction Simulation)
• Genre: Tile matching puzzle (removal) (Tile Matching Puzzle)
• Genre: Tile matching puzzle (creation) (Tile Matching Puzzle)
• Genre: Simulation - Space trading and combat (Space Flight)
...and probably more.
