I got two dips. Sept 12th algo change which we all heard about and another on Sept 25th (checked several games). Is that the same date as yours?

Hard to say for sure when our wishlist dip occurred for our two "coming soon" games, but it seems to be early Sept.

I should clarify. I've only got 1 coming soon game and the wishlists definitely dropped on Sept 12th as many people experienced. But also Sept 24th/25th I saw a drop in traffic for released games.

The drop seemed to be in the "Direct Navigation" category. Which, although it sounds like an external source, I don't think it is. It's just clicks Steam couldn't track properly. However, I'm not sure my sales dropped, though it's hard to say as they are low/spiky.

So have people (with more sales) actually experienced a drop in sales on either date? Sometimes I wonder if just the traffic stats change how things are recorded/categorised etc but it has little actual impact. Though my coming soon wishlists WERE 100% affected.

I checked my two games that you can wishlist and I didn't notice any changes - more like the opposite, the 18th october had a big bump. But as said I was lucky to get in the LGTBQ sale so that might have screwed up things. But regular, non discounted sales have dropped by a lot

Solstice was in the sale too, which blurred its data a bit, but now it's back to the lower normal. Interestingly, it also gained some "similar to this" relevance during the sale according to http://steamlikes.com .

you give too much weight to those things. Of my games Roommates has 98, Cursed Lands 6, and yet the latter outsells greatly the former

I think what really matters is not the number but value of those links. Historically, other product pages have been the best and most converting source of traffic for us, but I'm pretty sure Cinders appearing under Analogue or VA-11 Hall-A was worth more than 20 random VNs.

yes that's for sure, and that's the big issue right now - seeing always the same games recommended in the more like this
