I'm told that Fear & Hunger isn't taken up on account of certain IGDB tags that have been applied to the game but not its sequel. Given that neither game is explicitly on the banned games list it seems as though some sort of exception should be made so that it gets taken up into the system.

I have, since posting this, learned that these games are, in fact, available as nine (9) individual games on GameJolt under the @garmentdistrict account’s offerings. I had unfortunately failed to account for this fact. However, even on GameJolt all 9 (but not the bonus, and this represents a critical point) are available wrapped up in a single game, which is Anthology of the Killer. Making Anthology of the Killer available as a Twitch category, though not to the exclusion of the individual games, would still represent a saner data management and categorization practice. I remain steadfast in this assertion.
The singular bundle, Anthology of the Killer, represents the game in its ultimate and final form. It is a single narrative of which each individual game represents a single chapter in that continuous narrative.
Even an anthologized book has its own ISBN number to which one must refer in one sense or another to purchase said book. Such a book might have its own forward or even stories that have never been individually published. Anthology of the Killer represents such an arrangement in and of itself.
Furthermore, I had the count wrong in my first post. There are 10 total episodes/chapters in Anthology. Nine of those are represented on Game Jolt along with the Anthology, which is to say that the 10th chapter, Bonus Rooms, represents content that is only available within the auspices of the combined Anthology of the Killer executable.
Without being able to stream in a proper Anthology of the Killer there is no way to categorically represent a stream intending to undertake that specific chapter in the series, which represents a rather dire oversight in choosing to exclude the Anthology from categorization.
Thus, despite my misapprehension of certain facts in my original posting, I believe that there is still value to provide in offering Anthology of the Killer as its own category on Twitch proper.
Prior to understanding these facts I might have argued that the individual chapters should be decategorized but I would now argue that this would be detrimental and amount to a destruction of useful metadata.
In conclusion, Anthology of the Killer should be its own category that streamers and users may select in addition to the individual _ of the Killer chapters.
