No way to get the name(s) of a game from its ID?

There isn’t any way to get the game by ID directly from the Twitch API

Is this something that is being planned?

@DallasNChains

The roundabout way is to grab the GiantBomb ID and call their API for the game name. Our API is a reflection of GiantBomb including the names.

Yeah. Sadly, from what I’ve gathered, there are several (manually added) games and categories on Twitch that are not on GiantBomb, so that approach wouldn’t work 100% of the time.
