SORRY WHAT 559 GAMES? Thats 200+ more than usual... The @igdb.com Twitch Extension I built has a "game grid" page twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/igdb/gamegrid/ that lists all the games seen in the last 24 hours and it's higher than usual...

A screenshot of https://twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/igdb/ with the text "Random subset of games, from what people have streamed in the last 24 hours, there has been 559 different games played in the last 24 hours by streamers using this extension! Click a box art to vist the IGDB record for the game!"
