> It's just pushing SEO into the actual name of the game.

I agree that that's likely the main idea, but there's real value in providing different themes. I like jewels more than I like candy art.

Who searches for games based on the thematic metaphor? I think it's more likely that people search for Bejeweled or Candy Crush, and unscrupulous and uncreative game creators want to muddy the waters and siphon off some of that money.
