A better process for notifying Twitch/IGDB about missing games
Both Castlevania for the N64 and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness are missing from the Categories menu of Twitch, but they are not missing from IGDB's site. I have spent the better part of two hours trying to figure out how to inform someone, ANYONE, of this (admittedly small) oversight and ended up here.
There has to be a better way to inform Twitch/IGDB of problems of this nature than to wander aimlessly around the Twitch help section, then give up and use the feedback forum, hoping that a relatively minor fix will be noticed by someone with the power and conviction to do something about it.
Hey there!
For all things IGDB it is best to come to us directly rather than via Twitch help. Our preferred way is via Discord :)
Discord: discord.gg/igdb
Contact form: https://www.igdb.com/feedbacks/new
Twitter: https://twitter.com/IGDBcom
Regarding the Twitch categories, while IGDB provides the data but what ends up there is decided by Twitch itself. In the case of Castlevania it is due to the fact Twitch is not ingesting Versions of games at this time. We are however working on expanding the data set so that they can become categories. Stay tuned!

I went to IGDB last month and asked if one could rename Castlevania from 1997 to Castlevania (1997) because it's probably not showing up on twitch due double names(Castlevania from 1999 is called simply Castlevania, too.). Another Castlevania exists already. The IGDB Admin was sending me here. So now I come here and see an IGDB Admin sending people over to IGDB.
So who now can fix the missing Castlevania titles. The Anniversary and Advance Collections are existing on IGDB but are missing on twitch, too.
The whole Castlevania categories could be finally fixed and synced with IGDB, so streamers could actually tag all the games category correctly and don't have to use RETRO nor the heavily wrongly used "Castlevania" category that is the game from 1999.
Pls...could someone finally fix this. PLS!
