PSA: GameId and GameName can be the empty string

This account will likely soon be banned, but I noticed that the gameId and gameName for a stream was listed as “”. This is the account Twitch. Which is presumably illegally streaming a football match.

Just know that in your code you will want to handle the case when a GameID and GameName are “” since many different streams can technically have the same Id and Name. Whilst not referencing the same actual game.

This accounts for “streamer is not playing a game/has not selected a category” handy for doing test streams and the like.

And theres nothing against the rules about having a category not set

Please report the account, posting it to the dev forums won’t do anything.
