If you loved a game but didn’t say anything, the algorithm assumes you didn’t care. Visibility isn’t just views — it’s interaction. Let ‘em know.

There is a bug in your game.

If you don't find the bug during development, the testers will.

If the testers don't find the bug, the reviewers will.

If the reviewers don't find a bug, a prominent influencer/streamer will.
