Exception for a "Game Mod" to show in the Twitch category list as a Main Game

Dear IGDB Team,

Our community recently added our open-source game remake 2004Scape to IGDB. However, it was incorrectly categorized as a mod rather than a standalone game. While we understand that it is unofficial, it is not a mod and it is a complete, independent remake. Unfortunately, this misclassification limits visibility for our project and its content creators, preventing us from establishing a distinct identity separate from the official game.

We respectfully request that 2004Scape be recognized with its own category, ensuring our community has a dedicated space apart from the official game listing. We are not seeking to advertise within Jagex's category, nor do we wish to misrepresent ourselves as something we are not. Our goal is simply to provide a space where our project and its content creators can be properly identified.

Relevant links:

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/2004Scape/Server

We believe 2004Scape is something truly special for longtime RuneScape players and proper classification on IGDB would greatly help our project thrive. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Normo and the 2004scape community

    It’s great to see that the Twitch community is continuously striving to improve the platform’s flexibility and user experience. I understand how mod support and new integrations can enhance the viewer’s engagement with live streams, and I think the addition of exceptions for game mods is a step in the right direction.

    I’ve seen similar improvements in other areas as well, like when players use WoW Boost services to streamline their in-game progress. For example, with WoW Vendor’s boost services (https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow/) , players can focus on higher-level content rather than grinding for hours on end, which allows them to enjoy the game more without the usual barriers. It would be interesting if we could see a smoother integration of mods that enhances the gaming experience, making it more accessible for players who want to dive straight into the action without spending too much time on repetitive tasks.

    How do others feel about integrating game mods into Twitch streams and improving the gameplay experience? Would it be helpful to see more customization in how we can enhance gameplay and viewer interaction?

    I stopped playing games I think my last activity was early 2020, this brought me back to not only 2004scape but OSRS.
