...that you would actually watch someone stream, of course.
TL;DR: What games currently sold on GOG that almost never get played on the official Twitch channel would you like to see streamed there? Feel free to suggest games, or to second anyone else's suggestions!
It seems like some of the same individual games and general types of games get played by the streamers there over and over again, while other worthy (or at least interesting) titles never get played -- or, if they do, it's just a one-off, then nobody touches it for another few years.
I'm well aware that most of the volunteers are just playing what interests them, and in some instances also what they think their regular viewers might want them to play. To be clear: I'm not making any demands; I'm all for them playing what trips their triggers! I'm just putting forth some ideas for a bit of variety, for when one of the GOG stream team wants to play some oft-overlooked cult classics (AAA or indie), or popular (though maybe somewhat older) games that have, for whatever reason, languished in obscurity on the channel, or even games whose main story or campaign have been played a number of times, but which also have interesting side content or challenge modes that nobody touches. Maybe some suggestions (assuming any of the stream team event frequents the forums anymore) will spark somebody's interest in a game they weren't aware was here, or had forgotten about, or of course simply never knew about in the first place.
Below are some that I've seldom, if ever, seen on the channel, and which I'd be interested in watching the right streamer play. (Obviously, "the right streamer" is entirely subjective, and there are a lot of games I really like/am interested in which I usually/would probably find pretty boring to watch someone else play. I also tried to leave out games that have come out in the last 6-12 months, and obviously anything that's no longer sold here is out of bounds.)
