Brazil and UK region for release dates Add Brazil and UK region for game release dates, because there are games released specificaly for those regions. Mainly Brazil, because there the Master System and Zeebo consoles have many Brazil only games released.
8 votesHey! Brazil is now a release region!
We’ll take a look at UK in the future in case this is still required.Thanks!

Platform Aliases (PS3, XB1, NGC, etc) When attempting to define a Platform for each title, especially with PlayStation anything, it can be alittle taxing to need to type out the full name of the platform for each entry. Unlike older platforms like "Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)" or "Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)", these platforms do not use their common abbreviations in the title.
Ex. "PlayStation 3" vs. "PlayStation 3 (PS3)"

Bundled Titles dropdown in Edit is restricted to 10 titles, causing titles to be unselectable When Bundles include titles of a long running series, it is possible to encounter times that have too many titles to display with the basic name.
Ex. Mega Man (1).

Versions will follow up next :) -
'Platforms' section not showing all added platforms two games are linked below where the listed 'Platforms' (near the top of the game page, below 'Genre') don't correspond with the full set of platforms in the Release Dates section.
in both instances the missing platforms are 'Mac' and 'Linux', don't know whether it's an issue specific to those platforms or merely coincidental.
of note is that one of these (Transistor) also has some platform information added on the Companies page, while the other (Nuclear Throne) does not.

Good news, this is done and fixed! platforms should now be correctly reflected in both the game page header and the sidebar.
Additionally we recently did a lot of work on API syncs so additional issues should be taken care of there.If you spot anymore on this, please let us know.
Thanks!

Please work with Twitch to re-add collection games, such as Halo: MCC. The splintering of these games essentially removes the ability to differentiate between someone playing the OG game versus the collection. In the case of Halo, this makes a massive difference as each MP match can be a different game. This significantly lowers the discoverability of channels that play these games.
2 votesHey!
Halo Master Chief Collection is back on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Halo%3A%20The%20Master%20Chief%20CollectionThanks!

Remastered Games should not be included as the original Game For example, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is considered just a version of the original so I can not put that I am streaming it. This causes problems because Spiderman Remastered is made for a completely different platform which can completely change viewers interests in watching or not.
2 votesHey! Good news, this is done :) Yesterday we rolled out an update that allows us to better keep track of games. Without having to rely on Versions we are now able to track: Remakes, Remasters, Expanded Games, Ports, and Forks.
Thanks!

Reintroduce the Supremecommander: Forged Alliance game category People have noticed the categroy got removed today. I can only assume by error, since the Supreme Commander category is still up which effectively noone watches. I suppose it was done with the intention of removing redundant categories but Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a standalone expansion of the original title which the vast majority of players prefer.
I personally found most streams via monitoring that category and I suppose many others did as well. So the removal of it hurts this niche community.1 voteHeya! Looks like the category is back up. thanks for pointing it out!

Add the game NBA Supercard to your list of categories NBA Supercard is a relatively new game to the app store and I can't select it as a category which will make it not only hard for people to find my streams, but also other people's streams on this game! I think adding it to the category list would be great! Here is the official Twitter of the game if you need more information and also game cover art! https://twitter.com/NBASuperCard
1 voteHeya! Thanks for pointing that out, it’s been added and will start showing on Twitch as a category shortly.
Btw IGDB is fully user contributable, if you ever spot a game missing you are able to add or edit them :)

Redirect Confirmed Dups to Correct Game Pages. (Confirmed in the Pipeline)
After confirming a duplicate listing for deletion, it would be helpful to users that have saved those titles by Following, Saving to Lists or to Played listings to forward those links to the correct page, rather than the "Oops" broken link.Discord:
https://discordapp.com/channels/114736716505546761/458320386275409964/7227011187899105606 votesHeyhey,
So shedding some more light onto this.
While we are going to be working on a proper way to remove ‘bad pages, and duplicates’, this project is likely going to come in several phases.The initial phase is removing the pages form the site, and stop syncing them with the API.
The later phase would be us building tools to automatically swap the game IDs on lists, reviews, etc.. which would take care of this.Thanks!

Video Thumbnail Previews in Edit pages Unlike Screenshots, Video Submissions do not show a preview thumbnail before submitting an Edit. I have a number of times it seems my copy/paste didn't fire correctly and Ninja Gaiden gameplay videos ended up in a few titles (like Star Trek TNG Genesis), so I was unaware of the mistake until after the Edit was approved.
(Review previously confirmed, re-entering for UserVoice)

Thanks for the submission! -
Notes section for Edit Submissions A Notes Section for Edit Submissions would help abit. If you have a slightly contentious edit like updating the coverart or release dates, you could state your reasoning/mindset in a Note section for an Edit. These would obviously be only visible to the submitter and admins (or voters if so chosen).
(This is supposed to already be in the pipeline for a future update, but I just wanted to add it here as well.)

Great news everyone, this feature is now live!
Contributors can now leave notes/comments on their contributions (Games, Companies, Platforms, Characters, Engine, People).
This will work both ways in helping us with validations, and admins giving feedback on contributions.More details on Discord if you wish to discuss :)
Thanks!

Add a revision date to Contribution Guidelines. Add a revision date to Contribution Guidelines at the top of the page https://www.igdb.com/contribution_guidelines
Small text with the date in the form of "Updated on: XX.xx.***" under the 'Contribution Guidelines' button in the Editor would be nice too.3 votesHey! Good news, this has been done!
We now have new contribution guidelines, part of which now feature a timestamp for revision and updates :)

No longer availabe Games / DLCs It would be great to mark games or DLCs/Expansions that are no longer available for purchase, because they have been taken down or the stores selling them have been closed.
In the past™ games were sold on discs - even nowadays, if you can find them, you can play them. Modern games and expansions are often sold online only. If the shops are closing, the possibility to acquire these games is gone, making it impossible for game collectors to legally buy these games. It would be nice to mark games and/or expansions which are impacted by this.4 votesHey!
We recently just added a new game status which should be perfect for this use case: Delisted games.
For digital games that are no longer available via online stores.
For example, P.T is no longer available for download on any digital store, making it delisted.

DJMAX RESPECT V should be able to be selected as different game from DJMAX RESPECT in IGDB, djmax respect V is listed as alternative version of djmax respect. I think this the reason why I can't select djmax respect V as a game for my stream.
In fact, djmax respect V is porting version of djmax respect, but there are lot of differences between them and those games not share the pool of viewers.
Therefore, I think djmax respect V should be able to be selected as game for stream.
1 voteHey! Good news, we can now track such games better! We now are able to target Remakes, Remasters, Expanded Games, Ports, and Forks.
We’ve updated DJMAX RESPECT V as a Port of DJMAX RESPECT. thank you!

Episodic games do not display all titles in the series/story If a title is listed as an Episode (a game that continues a core story released in stages and/or uses the same game save data), it does not list the other Episodes in the series as Bundles or Expansions do. Currently, you can only link to a single title, and there is no means of stepping to the previous or next Episode.
Ex.
a) .hack//Infection Part 1, .hack//Mutation Part 2, .hack//Outbreak Part 3, .hack//Quarantine Part 4b) Virtually all Telltale games.

Logging in/Signing up while browsing Currently, logging in while browsing a page will send the user to the Discover page. This should be altered so that logging in, or even signing up, should keep you on the present page. This will make users feel more welcome while motivating newcomers to keep browsing. This is admittedly a rather small issue and the logging in aspect will be largely mitigated once the site is optimized to where users aren't logged out at certain intervals, but still seems significant enough to recommend.
4 votesHeya!
Happy to say this has been resolved! Now when signing back into IGDB we will not be redirected to the homepage, but instead stay on the page you were browsing.Thank you :)

Broken thumbnail - Far Cry New Dawn I'm not sure why, but I noticed that 'Far Cry New Dawn' thumbnail from IGDB isn't linking through to Twitch. On IGDB it has the correct artwork, but on Twitch it's showing the blank generic grey thumbnail for the game. Maybe a link break down?
1 voteHey! IGDB game covers are not yet being used on Twitch, at the moment only the actual entries (and therefore titles) are being ingested.
This will happen soon however, stay tuned!

Wrong external game references for 27523 Running
fields id,external_games.*; where id = 27523against the games API gets back reveals Alien Swarm, Super Mario, the Hunt, and several other games on other platforms are linked to 27523 instead of their respective representations on IGDB.1 voteHey there! thanks for letting us know, indeed there were some extra external Games connected to that ID. We’ve cleaned those up and it should be accurate now.
Thanks!
