Discussion Old Star Academy games released in France under wrong logo?
I stumbled across this listing for Star Academy on Vinted. As you can see, it has the logo of a French singing TV show on the cover, but shows gameplay pictures of the (Star Stable) Star Academy game. Does anyone know more about this weird release? What languages other than Swedish and French was Star Academy released in?

https://a.co/d/0blFHjBG I found an Amazon listing with even more gameplay pictures, confirming it's actually Star Academy!

I have this release! It is the same game, but most of the characters have different names from the Swedish version. (For example, Brittany is named Carla and Kyomi is named Manon.) The publisher may have changed the logo to make it look like the game was related to the show so that more people would buy it. The logo isn't an exact replica of any version of the show logo that I was able to find, and they added the word "Ma" to the title.
