Utility is a general system tool or a tool that does a simple operation without a specificity defined goal.

It is not a Utility if it was a GameTool.

Also, recommendation is against having more than one main category, in this case both Utility and Game.

I can't see any build system that will replace this here. Should we just not include it or keep it empty?

Later in any packaging solution we can just run:

$ desktop-file-edit --set-key=Exec --set-value="mcaselector" <desktop file>

or something smilier, depending on the launcher used

It would be easier to read if those were moved to the top.

Just like the order they are defined at https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/recognized-keys.html
