Incline MENACE - sci-fi turn-based tactical RPG from Battle Brothers devs

Wasn't even aware that there is a Follow-feature on steam.

You can set your news feed to any combo herein of followed, wishlisted, games in library, recommended, and featured news bits. Basically I wishlist anything I am remotely interested in and follow the things I know I am going to like.

Hell you can even follow publishers, developers and even steam users IIRC.

There is a news feed on Steam? Wasn't aware of that too.

Is there a reason they are not showing it?

Probably they never thought it needs to be public. After all, what does it matter for a customer how many people follow any particular game?

It is a loose prediction of the sales - or so the marketing teams would have us believe.
At first, I suspected devs probably tried to game the wishlists, but maybe it has to do privacy, business secrets, and laws like GDPR.

I could be mistaken, but I thought developers have access to how many players wishlisted their games? I mean, the developers of the Songs of Conquests promised some bonus if the number of wishlists exceeds a certain number.

Developers know how many players have wishlisted a game yes; half a decade back Valve made wishlists and game libraries private as the default setting but you can set yours to public, friends only, or private. It's why steamdb/charts/spy are nowhere as accurate as they were once upon a time, they used to crawl 95% of player's libraries as the majority of players didn't bother to change their settings.

I often wishlist games just to remind myself they exist or because i want to check them later. Never buy most of them lmao i wonder what they think of that.
