Don't know much about Peer Dependencies, beyond what I've educated myself. Wonder if we should use >=version instead of ^version?

I think I remember something about major versions needing to be compatible. Which I found odd. Maybe we should just update all our peer dependencies to 17. But then why did the last game module work. We will update game - and let us know if it builds. Then if so, we will do the other libraries.

Okay - we have updated game to 2.8.91 - we updated to 2.8.9 and realized we just updated the dev dependency rather than the peer dependency. So went to 2.8.91

Whatever you did worked. It is confusing that it worked before. idk.
