What exactly is the difference between Antivirus and Antivirus for PC Gamers?

I was curious, because right now Antivirus for PC Gamers is on sale.  Is there any reason to get the normal Webroot over the PC Gamer one?  Is there a difference in how the Anti-Virus parts work in each one, or is it purely the other features like Identity Shield?

The gamer version has System Optimizer, which the base AV doesn't have (although the other versions include it).  Plus it's tweaked to avoid interrupting you during gaming.

Thanks for the verification, looks like there's no real reason for me to not get the PC Gamer one.
