{game}

The category the channel is streaming.

{game}            the channel the message came from
{game:login}      another channel - see "Which channel?" below

Platforms: Twitch and Kick - reads the channel the message came from; name a channel to read the other.

The category (game, Just Chatting, Art, …) on Twitch or Kick. Works offline too.

Example

!game      →  {channel} is playing {game}
!whatgame  →  {if:{arg:1}|{touser} is streaming {game:{touser}}|We're on {game} right now}

Refreshes about every 30 seconds.

Which channel?

Without an argument, the variable reads the channel the message was typed in: in your Kick chat it reads your Kick channel, in your Twitch chat your Twitch channel. The argument picks another:

{game:login}          that channel, on the same platform as the message
{game:twitch}         your Twitch channel (from either chat)
{game:kick}           your Kick channel (from either chat)
{game:twitch:login}   a Twitch channel by login
{game:kick:slug}      a Kick channel by slug (the name in its URL)

Timers have no “message platform” - they use the platform they’re posting in, so a timer that posts in both chats reads each channel for its own post.
