is the final rating of a game influenced by if people played a game 10 times, or 200 times?
I feel like once a game goes to the top page, all people just start playing that game and i saw the first one had like 300 ratings few days ago,.The link to games with a low rating amount is a great idea, but i notice that in a jam of this size, a lot of games end up somewhere in the middle with low visibility.

If the ratings is independant of the amount of ratings then i guess its fine, just wondering

if you are below the median number of reviews you will have a score reduction. median is 13 at time of writing and you can check on https://itchanalytics.vercel.app/

:/ feel thats a bit unfair considering some people are marketing their game on this forum. Not supposed to advertise on a game jam
