I found watching this fascinating, doing some maths autism on the games market again but looking at the searches and comparing it to the steam data makes you think. The keyword searches are probably a fairly accurate gauge of interest in these games because even with botting it's probably going to account for people looking up things like guides for the games and generally searching it up.
As opposed to steam where yes, people will buy the game in question but then it will be dead as anything if you actually log into the multiplayer or you find it's completely broken and there's something deeply suspicious about the reviews.
I wonder how Helldivers 2 is currently doing in those charts?
Probably maxed out like Palworlds, it was interesting how that game as well got such a huge bump in interest. People will pay for games they think are quality still, they're clearly fed up of the antics of big studios.
