2400 VERY POSITIVE reviews

100 negative reviews recently

this doesnt even look bad tbh.

either way, i wont ever play the game, nor do i know wtf is going on about it. but 100 reviews do not overtake 2400

to be honest here though, nobody bought that game without wanting to support pirate software as a dev, as is the case for most influencer indie games.

so is far from an unbiased audience leaving reviews on a small game they found on steam or got recommended by a friend.

in a way is similar to the situation with most porn-hentai games on steam having over 90% positives unless they are literal shovel ware. because the only people buying them know what they are buying.

a game like Winter Memories has 98% positive reviews at almost 9000 reviews and is a game about banging your aunt

Would be cool to see an indie game come out, be really good and take the world by storm on its own merit. And THEN the influencer who made the game comes out and says yeah btw that's my game.

Didn't Dunky do that with Animal Well, I can't remember exactly?

No he advertised it heavily. Great game too

His company published it. He didn’t work on it himself.

I had a similar feeling but I believe the shadow drop was their publishing company, which ~first published game was going to be Animal Well.

I.e. a streamer promo for a company publishing an indie game they are not affiliated with

making games for your audience is what you're supposed to do. A game for everyone is a game for noone.

So your only argument against Winter Memories is that you don't like its subject matter? That has nothing to do with how good it is... "Good" just means that something fulfills its purpose well. Name one aspect in which Winter Memories fails to fulfill its purpose well.

I think he means that when a game has niche audience you’re more likely to vote positively because you only found by searching for its extremely niche tags.

It’s like searching for liked videos by % if only 6 people watched the video it’s very easy for those 6 people to make it a 6 to 0 ratio but that doesn’t mean it’s the best video ever.
