  1. The game is already duly registered with the IGDB, but when I contacted them via email, I was informed that this problem would be resolved here and that the game would be able to be an option, a category of choice for streamers.

  2. Apparently there was previously features for adding a custom profile pic and banner which were disabled. If that's the case it would be great to bring those back, I can't see them doing any harm. More personalisation is appreciated on sites such as these. It would also be nice to display some kind of bio in the "Overview" section (there's even space in the middle perfect for it) as well as a possible list of consoles/platforms owned.

    Hey!

    I can confirm this is definitely in the works. When we switched to Twitch logins after the acquisition we had to terminate our own user upload feature for safety and privacy reasons. The current plan is to add the ability to sync your IGDB profile Avatar & Banners with your Twitch profile, so it would be one seamless account across both.

    Adding extra to the profile itself is something we very much would like to do, some work has even already put into this. Unfortunately however this isn’t currently on our roadmap and priority list for the short term. But soon!

    Thanks!

  3. I have noticed games series that use the same name twice (usually due to reboots) causes the game list to get confused and delete one of them in favour of the other. For example Sonic The Hedgehog and Sonic the hedgehog (2006) Same title but only the original shows on the game list not the 2006 version. I have noticed this with other games too, both games should be able to be on the list simultaneously. Another ways this is my idea :D

  4. Guild Wars: REFORGED - Category Merger

    The launch of 'Guild Wars: Reforged' is now LIVE and it combines all the games under one umbrella now. Twitch still has all the categories split up and the community has voiced concerns in most Guild Wars streams that it should be all in one now since ArenaNet made this new update and change.

    Even looking on the official Guild Wars website, now Reforged, the game now includes everything and is no longer split up. Even looking at Steam, ArenaNet has removed all the other categories and has everything under its new Guild Wars:…

    Heya!

    We actually used to have apps, but our (IGDB) team is quite small we decided to terminate them as we couldn’t guarantee high quality support for them. We don’t plan to refocus on apps until we can guarantee that seal of quality again.

    However we do plan on revisiting and improving our mobile site before then!

    Stay tuned :)

  6. I understand you don't do "Bundles" but then how come you have a game category for: "Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered" but not for the latest release: "Tomb Raider IV-V-VI Remastered". Dear Twitch website devs and tech support, please consider doing this. People broadcasting these games and viewers searching for these games are flustered and all over the place. This is not right.

  7. Hi,
    when I check my own channel on Twitch, I like to see the colouredful section name something like "Recently broadcast categories" (in Italian "Categorie trasmesse di recente), with all Game Covers from recently streamed games/categories.

    Anyway, seeing I bring lot of indie (expecially less less known ones) I often find they have no Game Cover at all related to their category. And they show and ugly grey empty cover box.

    But most of them actually can show a Game Cover on IGDB... or if they don't, well I often upload a cover by myself, if I can.

    The fact…

    Hey!
    Thanks for reaching out. This has been an ongoing request, and an obvious fit for IGDB and Twitch.

    A separate team within Twitch has this planned. We (IGDB) do have covers as a high data priority and are indeed ready to power Twitch with those covers :)

    Stay tuned for future Twitch announcements :)

  8. Would be nice to have a general category for horror games. There are a lot of horror games that don't have a category or have a dead one. I feel like having a general category for horror would make things easier for people. There's already a games+ demos, why not have specifics for game types.

  9. Hello Twitch Support Team,

    I’ve encountered an issue when streaming the game Point Blank under the category Point Blank (2008) https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank-2008. The videos are not saved in this category, but instead appear under the Point Blank https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank category.

    Could you please look into this and make sure that videos streamed in the Point Blank (2008) https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/point-blank-2008 category are correctly saved there?

    Thank you very much for your help and support.

  10. I have been a huge fan of your site and contributed with game additions. The prospect of having a fully functional and well supported IMDB for games was such a great idea. Unfortunately, since Twitch took over the platform, everything has come to a halt and It seems like Twitch only bought the site and it's userbase and never had any intend of developing the site further. Apps are no longer worked on, the site is buggy and you cannot even maintain a wishlist without any technical issues. It's a shame really to see this potential and love of every…

    Heya! Thank you for the honest feedback, it does mean a lot and we totally understand such frustrations. I can add some context on where IGDB is at the moment, but first i can say that it is absolutely still our plan to return to the website development and just like you the team is very eager to improve on the potential it has :)

    An acquisition is a complex matter from an engineering perspective, from months prior the public announcement we had set deadlines to migrate infrastructure, services, security systems etc.. to align with our new teams. That took significant time and effort, during which we had to put development of the website on hold beyond basic maintenance (unfortunately). Once done we decided to focus on growth of our core product as a database. Which is why the main product updates we made have been around our contributing users,…

  11. At some point in the last couple of weeks there has been a change to the Tarot category. When you go into Browse and search for it there are no results, yet it does exist if you scroll to find it. Tarot streamers are unable to make that their category if they change from it, they cannot change back. When you do happen to find the Tarot category, it is no longer correct.

    Tarot has been around since the 15th century and is not a game that was only released to Japan in 1988. There is not an alternative Category…

  12. Greetings.

    I would have liked to suggest a new category for twitch.
    I'm only an amateur streamer, starting my journey through broadcasting and I was surprised to see no category exists for flashgames, or really small indie games in general.

    I think flashgames are an important part of the ecosystem and I would have liked to be able to showcase it during my lives.

    Would it be possible to add it to the list?

    I think "Flash games" as a name would be perfect.

    What do you think?

  13. For some reason, there are two pages for the LÖVE (Love2D) engine:
    https://www.igdb.com/game_engines/love
    https://www.igdb.com/game_engines/love--1

    There's no difference between them so I think they should be merged.

    Also would be nice if it was named "LÖVE / Love2D".

  14. Hello,

    I am the developer of the game CaveVox, which is officially listed on IGDB: https://www.igdb.com/games/cavevox. I have updated its information multiple times, and all updates have been approved.

    However, there is currently no category for CaveVox on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/cavevox.

    Instead, the category https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/exohub incorrectly links to CaveVox.

    To clarify, CaveVox is not Exohub. Exohub has never been released, never had a demo or early access version, and cannot be found anywhere, including Steam.

    Therefore, I kindly request that the incorrect link be removed, and a proper category for CaveVox be created on Twitch to prevent misleading…

  16. https://www.igdb.com/games/mysims-cozy-bundle and https://www.igdb.com/games/mysims-cozy-bundle--1 seem to be just copies of each other.

    One of these should probably be removed, in my opinion.

  17. Web application for IGDB

    Currently, when you add IGDB to your home screen it opens in the browser, this could be changed to make it look like a native application.

  20. I tried to search for games with a specific keyword using the advanced search, but that doesn't seem to work. If you enter a keyword and select the result from the dropdown it is added to the input field, but it is not added to the actual search as options like platforms that show up below the input field when selected. The result just stays the same regardless which keywords have been entered. So I think this either does not work, or it is really unintuitive who do use the keyword search and I could not make it work.
