Restore removed game category that was still in use (Unreal Tournament)

Hello,

It seems like the game category „Unreal Tournament“ was removed since it can't be found anymore. I am not sure if this was by accident or based on a conscious decision after the development of Unreal Tournament 4 was stopped by Epic last year.

However, the category „Unreal Tournament“ is still needed. It is in daily use by the Unreal Tournament community that is maintaining and still actively playing as well as streaming the original game from 1999 (usually referred to as “UT” or “UT99”). Besides that, Unreal Tournament 4 (“UT4”) is also still maintained by the community as well as played and streamed.

Therefore, it seems inappropriate to remove the game category „Unreal Tournament“. On the contrary, it needs to remains available. If not, there’s no way for us to obey to the Community Guidelines that mandate a proper category selection.

Tank you.

NOTE: I opened a ticket about this issue that was handled with a generic reply which was besides all points raised. After messaging back, I was met with silence. Obviously the AI has decided not to talk to me anymore. This process is tedious and needs improvement.

    Unreal Tournament was one of the first online shooters, no UT no Twitch. Bring back UT.

    Even though the followers of the category don't seem to be restored, we're never the less back!

    Thank you! <3

    Thank you sub7/krazyjakee & fror from the IGDB team, as well as anyone else from Twitch who managed to solve this for us (late on a Friday evening).

    Our entire community is grateful for it.

    UT99 lives on

    Despite its name, UT99 is actually real.
    I'd rather you don't remove it again if it's not too much trouble.

    As a caster, and player of this game since 1999 it still has a very loyal following and deserves to have it's category on twitch remain!

    Update: Unreal Tournament category is back! WE DID IT!
  • deckardcainlives commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please bring Unreal Tournament back to Twitch. This is the game that made the Unreal Engine what it is today. The UT99 community is alive and kicking, with people still spending countless hours making maps, MODs, skins, voice packs, mutators, sounds, and music and spending hundreds of dollars a year running and maintaining servers.
    Thank you for listening.

    The community needs this category. I stream this game frequently and watch many Unreal Tournament streams almost daily. We stream organized games, pubs and even community hosted tournaments and leagues. We are a small community but is thanks to places like Twitch we can exist and find others. We need this so we keep our game alive. We need a place on Twitch so older fans of this game can discover and join our community, to talk to others curious about our game, and for the dedicated fans to grow, compete, learn and enjoy.
