How else do you ask anything for a feature?
You consider it simple.
Others may not.
To me, you don’t want JUST the game that a vod is of.
To me. I want chapters like the website has.
That doesn’t feel simple to me compared to “the game that the vod has at the start and only the start” which is what Kraken has.
I get the feeling kraken isn’t as performant as it could be.
Twitch used to use kraken to run the site. Now it doesn’t, it uses GQL and provides an API for third party devs (helix).
Given this change I get the idea that Kraken is “too expensive” to run in terms of the datamodels and back ground services that exist to collect and provide data.
The old API is old and showing it’s age as Twitch advances. (Similar to how we moved from v3 to v5, where v5 is “ID led” in order to allow Users to change their usernames on Twitch more easily so the API become ID Led to match that)
So you would rather Kraken be left behind as a funamentally broken and inefficent (slow to report/load) thing?
When Kraken is removed that should free up a load of internal stuff that was being used for kraken inefficently to then provide more information and data to Helix efficently.
Or thats what I think.
At the end of the day
No Game data on a VOD in Helix is not a Bug.
Reporting it to the Bug tracker is not the correct thing to do.
It is a feature request for Helix
Therefore the correct place to ask for this is UserVoice.
So I cited the uservoices.
And how else will anyone know what other people want, without the ability to make Feature requests?
