Meta game filters
I really enjoy watching older PC games, sadly you don't see many people playing them on twitch. I suspect this is because by playing older games, you make it hard for your stream to be found. Because of this, streamers without established audiences get virtually no new viewers... so its just not worth it.
Nobody streams these games because they don't get viewers > Nobody watches them because nobody can find them > Nobody can find them because the game their playing is followed by hardly anyone
Right now, tags like 'adventure game' are way to broad because it returns hundreds of games and you can't even add multiple tags anymore (why was this removed?).
The 'Retro' category is also too broad and doesn't even allow you to see the game name.
The other issue is when you search on these obscure games, 99% of the time nobody is playing that specific title but people may be playing something similar.
Maybe this would be a better addon or another site all together, but i would like to see Meta filters added.
Few game filter examples:
- Bandai games (search on games published by Bandai/Namco)
- Sierra games (search on the sierra adventure games catalog)
- Sega games
- Soulslike games (but not as a tag, as a game filter, because not everyone uses tags)
- FMV games
- Games by decade (80's,90's,2000's etc)
Again, these are GAME filters, not tags.
I'd really like to see users be able to customize these, as well as select from a number of predefined filters.
I think meta game filtering like this would improve navigating immensely as well as users' ability to discover new streams... it would also boost viewership for people who play lesser known games.
This wouldn't necessarily require much work on twitch's part, you could add metadata to each game title and use that.. but the easier solution would be to just add a way for users to curate their own meta game category list and add that as a category icon. Number of ways you could do this.

When it comes to gambling, I recommend learning more about the Gravity brand and products like the recently released Gravity Sic Bo. All this can be obtained from the supplier BETER https://live.beter.co . This is especially true for those who decide to develop an online business and contribute to the gambling industry using their own gambling platform. By working with this provider, you integrate the best content and conditions for players.

My friend, I completely agree with you, the old games were a little bit on a different level compared to the current ones, they had their own unique and extraordinary charm, the atmosphere was felt from the very beginning. But I also want to note that the current games also have their advantages, for example, I recently watched a review of Starfield - it was amazing, and after that I wanted to see More Info https://pcflashgamer.com/review/starfield-review-overwhelming-scope/ about this game, because it personally touched me very much. Just like my first game, which was GTA San Andreas, every time I remember it, I get goosebumps, it was so impressive and impressive. We can say that now it is a classic.
