I imagine that would be considered "wrong". And, also, we'd lose the other 20%,
which is significant.

OK. I understand where I got confused. Unfortunately, due to the agreement with
the human testers, none of those games can be released (not that I think the
development team wanted to release them anyway). As for the tests of engine vs
engine, I really do not know how much testing has been done. Also, all testing
up to now has been done with a King engine that is still unfinished, so all of
those games would certainly not be released. I imagine that PLENTY of testing
will be done by folks here, anyway.... ;-)
