From a mod over @ r/dwarffortress...

Long story short, Twitch (an Amazon product) relies on IGDB (Internet Game Database, another Amazon product) for the information they use for streaming game categories. IGDB has decided that Dwarf Fortress (2006), Dwarf Fortress (2022), and Dwarf Fortress:Adventure Mode (2024) are all separate games instead of incrimental releases of the same game, leading to there being multiple categories an making stream discovery harder. Someone can literally search the 2022 one with the current logo and see that "no one" is streaming DF, while half a dozen people are streaming in the 2006 category.

Kitfox contacted IGDB, who told them to contact Twitch. Twitch told them to make a post on twitch.uservoice.com (which I'd never heard of).
