Even YouTube used to have Project Reality as a title, now it doesn't and we have to use BF2.

Years ago I heard Twitch used to use Amazon's barcode database. It's probably different now since a lot of games aren't released on retail.

I've wanted to research which database they both use for a while, so this is probably a good time to do it.
