Lol, Caddyshack sharing a universe with Ghostbusters (2016). That's an entertaining thought.

Also, Scrooged too. That's the ghost of Jacob Marley.

One that isn't likely, considering that in the same comic series, they mention visiting the actual reality of Caddyshack. Unless they visited the same universe but didn't realise it, checked out the history of Peter's double, and came across Carl Spackler (Caddyshack) instead of Martin Heiss (Ghostbusters: Answer The Call) by chance.
I thought doubles were only people with the same names

Doppelgänger. Peter Venkman would have two doppelgängers in Dimension 80-C if Caddyshack were the same universe as it, and the Dimension Prime Ghostbusters would have been unaware that they're interacting with characters from the same reality as that film.

I just got to this. Couldn't stop laughing, lol.
I guess Winston meant it when he said he's seen things that'll turn you white, huh?

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire's props place Winston's birthday on June 17th, 1945 - something they must have gotten from the Ghostbusters: Year One miniseries most likely.

Nah. They're from Dimension 68-F even if Ghostbusters: The Video Game and IDW's background easter eggs validate them.
Probably variants
But what makes them not in the same universe though?

Indeed. Well, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is confirmed to occur in that universe and does reference Freddy vs Ghostbusters, making it official, though that game also occurs in the main universe of the Sanctum of Slime reality, so Ed Spengler exists in all three - Dimension Prime, Dimension 50-S and Dimension 68-F.
Dimension Prime = Main universe
Dimension 68-F ≠ Dimension Prime
Therefore, since the fanfiction is not set in Dimension Prime, it's not the same universe. Even though The Video Game referenced them. It's no different to Sanctum of Slime being a sequel to Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
