that Ofihombre literally stated the DBolical administration already confirmed the issue
Then why not simply cite this. Instead a non conclusive mess of oddidites is presented as evidence. Did those admins say how much such traffic there is, and if they remove such traffic from statistics?
We aren't arguing about whether the site is completely useless to find a game; we are arguing that the stats system is broken
No, we do not. You might. Ofi is not. And I am pointing out the flaws in Ofi's logic.
The thread's title is:
IndieDB/ModDB is a bot/crawler farm! Don't public any game/mod!
I think that is supposed to mean publish and not public. Ofi calls for other people to not use this platform and claims it is used to simulate traffic, rather than there being genuine traffic.
Ofi is not arguing that the statistics of that site are broken and should not be used for marketing analysis. It is a call to boycott that site.
