Twitch category name collision
Currently two (or more) games with the exact same name (usually reboots) share the same category in Twitch. And all the cover art, description, tags are taken from only one of the games. This usually means that the other game(s) effectively completely lacks a page on twitch, despite being a completely different game and having unique gameplay. Can something be done about this?

Who thought creating a new section for every mode of a game is a good idea? I want to see their high school diploma.

They both are the same games. We can't have multiple folders for the same game.

They are the same game. Please merge them all. The game is in continuous development with lots of features and modes for any world you create.

Dwarf Fortress (2006), Dwarf Fortress (2020) and Dwarf Fortress: Adventure Mode are all the same game - it's ridiculous that each is a different category and that when KitFox originally asked for this to get fixed IGDB said 'no'

Why would IGDB not change such an obvious error?

Both entries are the same game, just slightly different versions of the game, one of them is 0.47, another is 0.50 (now known as 50). If these 2 versions are separated into two categories, each major patch of every game should be it's own category too, which is ridiculous.

IGDB is obviously not a good source of information if they are pulling this kind of nonsense.

Funny how the people behind Twitch are such twits they need a community to tell them “There is only one Dwarf Fortress that has been in development for nearly 2 decades and Adventure Mode is a mode of the game. It is right there in the name Adventure MODE. Be like splitting a game up between its campaign story and the multiplayer mode.”
Hopefully this gets resolved soon because this is bloomin’ stupid.

As pointed out elsewhere, there are at least 3. Adventure mode seems to also have its own directory.
Twitch, please fix!

Imagine the devs of a game telling you that you made a simple mistake by splitting two modes in their game into their own game categories, and then ignoring the devs of that game. Couldn't be me, but sadly, some people are not very bright.

Crazy that we have to go to these lengths to fix a problem that should never have occured, but here we are.

Thank you for bringing this issue forward so it can get resolved as soon as possible.

Why is this even an issue? Seems like a no-brainer.
Twitch, your job is to get viewers to the content they came to Twitch for... Why not just merge these games?
What if you put every COD release in one category? Nah.. -

I'm not surprised that people who claim to be "gamers" and make online utility tools and love trash games like Elden Ring don't even know basic videogame history - whoever owns the site and does these changes should have his switch taken for a week from his wife's boyfriends. Not cool man!
