    I've had the same issue with the Card Shark game last year and a rejected change on IGDB. Seems complaining here does not help neither.

    My feeling is that this should not have been reported here in the "categories" section but in the "bugs" section. It's a twitch-side bug, and it makes sense IGDB should not be the home of a dirty workaround.

    Not only the name-based url make the game page colliding but it also messes up with the miniatures showned under every live or vod on the site.

    This actually make the bug highly visible as soon as a game is played by big community streamers. Even big franchises such as Resident Evil and Tomb Raider are impacted, and it's only going to be worse as even more remake are released.

    Maybe the bug is actually not easy to fix, depending on how they implemented the url generation from igdb, but seems to me it's definitely worth one or two devs spending a few days on it.
