      I really like this discussion but as far as I can see there's no mention of final game quality. I appreciate that's subjective, but difficult to determine a benchmark for *all games* when The Algorithm chooses to feature "better" ones more frequently.https://twitter.com/GreyAlien/status/1272809693031915520 …

      Simon Carless @simoncarless has worked out a new Steam wishlists to week1 sales ratio of about 0.2 (median). Average is a bit higher, but maybe less useful. He discussed the data collection and analysis with me and I can confirm it is sound. Take a look: https://gamediscoverability.substack.com/p/steam-the-new-wishlists-to-first …

      I implied that with "pro-level games". https://twitter.com/GreyAlien/status/1272813473035059200 … So I agree with you.

      Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie @GreyAlien
      Realistically only pro-level games with decent marketing that are a good match for the Steam audience are likely to get 0.2 or higher (though there's no guarantee). So it would be reasonable for devs hobbyist/first timers/low budget devs to use a lower figure.

      (At this risk of this turning into a polite-'em-off, I wasn't suggesting anything wrong with your comment either. just wondering whether there's an additional metric for Steam rating that could be added into Simon's sterling work.)

          Oh I see. Alas he doesn't have that data nor an easy way to get it. But yeah I think it's pretty important to get your super fans to leave good reviews ASAP so that newcomers to the page see a positive rating to help conversion.

          Though I'm sure we can all think of counter examples to that.
