Well, I wouldn't exactly call that an alternate timeline. The problem is that the Walt Disney Company doesn't have any POTC canon policy. The POTC products are not divided into primary canon, secondary canon, and other canons. Even more problematic is the fact that Disney doesn't care about the continuity of the POTC franchise. If something makes money, they'll make it. For example, they openly told Ann C. Crispin that her book didn't have to maintain continuity with other books. Therefore, we are free to choose if we want to see the events in the games as canon or not.
