    Even before I started streaming myself, I was surprised that there wasn't an arcade category in place. All of the streamers I followed early on were making arcade content, and it was (and still is) difficult to find people in the arcade community on Twitch playing on cabinets and original hardware simply due to the various categories we make due with streaming under.

    Once I started streaming from my cabinets, I even added "Arcade" to my channel name to help make it easier for people to find my early arcade streams. While I love the Retro category and would absolutely still use it for my console streams, being able to categorize dedicated arcade streams which are not always inherently retro would be a huge win for the sizable and passionate arcade scene that already exists on Twitch.

    While amazing in every way, this scene often feels far less cohesive than other niche communities with no true category for us to call home.
