That makes zero sense. So if you want to show a simple top games listing for the first 20 top games, you have to do what, spam ~200 API calls to get an “approximation” for one simple information you want to show? Where the v5 API, it was 1 API call?
A top game listing is a simple information which is important, it makes no sense to not include viewer count in that end point. Why should you have to ddos the api just to get a simple important information?
And then if you want to browse through the list, it makes it even worse, for each flip to another 20 games, you have to do another 200 calls, then flip back to refresh, another 200.
Top games end point should include viewer_count for each game.
