Yup, it's totally Valve fault that Piko's most popular game is Super 3D Noah's Ark and their latest one, fucking Impossamole, flopped. Not because they're working on super niche games that are usually seen in Fanatical / Indiegala bundles, nah.
Of course they are totally correct not updating the product they are currently selling in a storefront if said storefront puts them in such a harsh situation.
Great attitude there, customer friendly and polite and using their leverage intuitively cos Steam will totally see that and go omg, we should change our algorithms to promote ancient low effort re-releases over other stuff. I don't hear Risk of Rain, Hollow Knight, Ori, whatever devs talking about an indiepocalypse.
This is the dumbest excuse ive seen for not updating your library image. Fuck the people who bought your games because Valve bad
So people who bought your game caused the algo change? I don't get it.
the funniest thing is that they didn't even bother adding proper tags to their games .... something which would help them A LOT
the store pages are barren
and the screenshots are stretched (or look like they've been taken off of google images - like in 40 Winks's case, for example)
