I'd like to point out the concept of "body doubling." This is basically when someone works on a task, or studies, alongside someone else who may be doing something completely different. Even though they're not technically collaborating, it's proven that this can be a vital technique for focusing and getting work done, even just knowing someone else is working beside you and wants you to do well. Twitch could really be helping many people's productivity and focus by implementing this category.

Trying to play Sonic 2006. It's an infamous game that people love tuning in to watch, but because it's official title is "Sonic the Hedgehog", which has two other Sonic games by that title including the very first one in the series. Hence, it's hard to have a proper category of it and it doesn't have a title screenshot: http://sofoxcentral.com/storage/images/Sonic06Bug.png
This is really annoying, because there are numerous times a game publisher released reboots with the same name as the first one in the series (Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Thief, or even Prey which wasn't even a reboot, just had the same name)
There are just so many instances where completely different games have the same name. Heck, it happens with movies the whole time. Having a fully functioning thumbnail to tell them apart would be super helpful, or even vital for attracting the right audience of a game. (an original game from the 90s and its reboot from the 2010s could have similar, yet still very different audiences. You want to make it easy for Twitch users to quickly find the right game category to look for, and for streamers to know the right category to stream their game as).

Honestly, I stream game jams and I just use the "Software and Game Development" category.
This is the tip of a massive bug that Twich has had for years: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/45085204-twitch-category-name-collision
Despite being a bug, it's in the Category section because that's what it deals with.
