Hello.  
In order to get our game “The Tomorrow Children Phoenix Edition” to appear on Twitch, we tried to add the title from “Games” on the Twitch developer page.  
However, the corresponding title does not appear in the Search Twitch Directory.  
It is registered on [igdb.com](http://igdb.com) ([https://www.igdb.com/games/the-tomorrow-children-phoenix-edition](https://www.igdb.com/games/the-tomorrow-children-phoenix-edition)).

We have confirmed that “The Tomorrow Children”, which is the previous title, does show up ([https://www.igdb.com/games/the-tomorrow-children](https://www.igdb.com/games/the-tomorrow-children)).

What can I do to solve this problem?

This is filed on IGDB as an “expanded game”  
Expanded games, to my knowledge, are not injested to Twitch as they are essentially “the game with all the DLC included/etc” for example.

Persona 5 Royal is registered as an Expanded Game, but on Twitch, Persona and Persona 5 Royal are treated as separate titles.  
Therefore, we thought the same could be done for The Tomorrow Children and Phoenix Edition.

Additional/alternative categories can be requested via the Twitch Uservoice.

[https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover?category\_id=367945](https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover?category_id=367945)

And IIRC P5royal preceeds the IGDB aquistion and the use of IGDB as the data source for Categories.So likely was made as a category _as if_ it was requested via uservoice as it had been stramed to before _how categories are born_ was changed.

I see. I could understand what happened up until now.

I will check Twitch Uservoice.  
Thank you very much.
