I think the question of licensed games is difficult, and I'm currently leaning towards doing them on a case by case basis depending on how separate they are from the source material. For example: Knights of the Old Republic is eligible because while the Star Wars franchise is as a whole not eligible, the games are different in terms of characters, time period, and story. On the other hand the Naruto games would be ineligible given how closely tied they are to the anime and manga.
With that in mind, it's less about whether the game's story is self-contained and more how different the characters are from their original source counterparts. If the answer is "not really" and the appeal is having the characters from different continuities interact then it wouldn't really be eligible.
