Add the IGDB game ID to the Helix Games Endpoint
Now that Twitch is utilizing IGDB instead of Giantbomb.
Please add the IGDB Game ID to the Helix Fetch Game endpoint.
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-games
https://api-docs.igdb.com/#game
Then we can easily lookup a game on Twitch with the game on IGDB without getting lost in search/selecting the wrong one with a similar name

Worth noting you can do this from the IGDB side instead
HTTP POST -> https://api.igdb.com/v4/games/
With body:
fields *; where external_games.category = 14 & external_games.uid = "TWITCHGAMEID";
