The problem with that section is its believability.

In my current list, among the most popular games in the world (from WoW to CSGO), each day, inevitability, there is The Last of Us 2, one of the most unpopular games among its own community, also not replayable at all.

But worst, in that list there aren’t Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dragon Age, Valheim, Diablo 2, Path of Exile, Age of Empires, Starcraft, Among US, Total War, The Witcher, and dozens of games which are truly popular and replayable (infinitely with mods).

Just answer this:

Should I believe that today TLOU2 was “recently played” by more people than Guild Wars 2, an MMO with millons of people simultaneously connected?

Is that, remotely believable?
low rated
first off, tlou2 is an amazing game thats loved by the vast majority of people who played it. an extremely loud minority is still very much a tiny minority.
second, who says the recently played by others is about the amount of people who played those games?
third, it doesnt matter how many people play those games you listed if they arent playing them through gog galaxy/sync their accounts through it

a loud minority that usually happens only in those games that have disappointed their community... Look, I don’t care what the fans of that melodrama think, just tell me if you find believable your own explanation.

I can believe that in the entire Planet, were at least one person playing that game in the precise moment I opened the launcher. What I can’t believe is that there were LESS people playing more popular/replayable games.

keep reading and believing what you want to believe. itll just make you look like a stupid conspiracy theorist though

I don’t know if I am seen as a conspiracionist, or you as a melodrama crybaby. I just know that this game is not in any top most played list, but every day I have to believe that it’s still recently played.

PS: And every day should be the exactly same games there? Never a Cyberpunk 2077, Civilization, Baldur’s Gate, Warhammer, The Sims, Flight Simulator, Valorant, Wasteland... Isn’t there variety in the entire Planet? At least make that list feels somewhat alive, right?

you dont even know how the recently played list works and youre just spinning some kind of conspiracy theory because it contains a game you dislike and doesnt contain a game you like. that absolutely makes you a stupid conspiracy theorist
Apparently nobody knows how it works, right? You can devaluate any criticism by calling it conspiracy, but here the main problem still there: believability.

No one have “recently played” something else? In any time? At any day? We have 24/7 the same list.

no, the list changes. i dont know the interval, but it does. again, youre thinking up some crazy conspiracy theories because of your own bias

And... apparently no one knows that interval too, right? Again, you can call conspiracy theories, when I simply ask why I have to see every day a movie that I never wanted. In my launcher. And all the explanations apparently are... unknown.

so you make up your own conspiracy theories that conform to your bias

On my end it shows CP77, AS valhala, ghost, animal crossing... But then yeah, tlou2. Ugh. However, I don't like this section and I think it should be removed entirely or made optional at least. I don't -care- what others are playing, never did.
@ytmh, I think exactly the same. But meanwhile, they should make it more credible. Or functional! With games really ‘recently played by others’; to give us a genuine curiosity to look at it.

They could take this as useful feedback.


@Bustacap, what conspiracy, or bias? I don’t know why I imagine you writing that in tears. Which is weird.

weve gone over this already. you think theres some kind of foul play because of one game you dont like (but probably have never even played).
you imagining me writing this in tears is also called projection, aka youre imagining people doing stuff that you would do yourself in a similar situation

@Bustacap, I see a progress reading an entire post of yours without “conspiracy” in it. Keep working on that.

Now, let's recap, I said that a section doesn’t make sense since it never changes, that is the main point. But also, we know a ^special game^ which was not very appreciated (but a lot advertised). And you've started a statement about a game which no one cares (presumably on tears).

Then you said: “I don’t know the interval when the list changes”. Interval? In the phrase “recently played”, the interval is zero (0). If there were intervals (and long as months!) they should change its name as something more meaningful.

Instead of defend that section (or a movie), try to make an useful feedback to the devs. Think that if that section were really “recently played” (constantly updating), we would have more interest on it, instead simply ignoring as if it were just propaganda.

i wouldnt have to mention it constantly if you would stop constantly spewing your conspiracy bullshit, which you did again.
do we really have to go over all of this again? just refer to my other posts, no need to repeat myself for the millionth time. youre a nutcase and you cant see it
