🚨 Merge or Remove “The Sandbox (2015)” – Prevent Category Confusion
There are 3 Twitch categories with nearly identical names, but they refer to different games, and this causes confusion for streamers and viewers:
✅ The Sandbox
- Twitch Category: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox
- Official site: https://sandbox.game
- The current metaverse game by Animoca Brands
- 🎯 This is the company’s primary focus, with regular updates, live events, and a growing creator ecosystem.
⚠️ The Sandbox (2015)
- Twitch Category: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox-2015
- Old site: https://thesandboxgame.com
- Title shown: the SANDBOX
- This category actually refers to The Sandbox Evolution (2016), not the original 2011 game
- Frequently selected by mistake when streamers are looking for the metaverse game
✅ The Sandbox Evolution
- Twitch Category: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox-evolution
- Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/466940/The_Sandbox_Evolution/
- Title shown: The Sandbox Evolution
- This game is no longer supported, appears broken on Steam, and is no longer available on mobile
🔁 Proposal:
Merge or remove the category at https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox-2015
→ Redirect to https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox-evolution
Prioritize https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/the-sandbox as the official category for the current metaverse game (https://sandbox.game)
⚠️ Right now, streaming software often suggests the 2015 category first, which leads to accidental mislabeling of streams.
