I worded that poorly. I was not suggesting to make a change, only that my particular situation made me curious about your thoughts. Valve's recent change to ignore key activations is actually super frustrating when first starting out. I wasn't even really thinking of a dynamic widget. Just some simple image that could be linked to your site. However, it would be better if there were permanent historical pages. I'm not sure how to categorize it (maybe every week or month), but the link would make more sense then... you can't guarantee you'll still be on the rolling page. Just an idea.

Interesting, I didn't know key review exclusion was a recent change. Are you just looking for press kit resources? There's a somewhat dated press kit available from https://github.com/250/Steam-Top-250/releases/download/press2/press.zip https://github.com/250/Steam-Top-250/releases/download/press... that might contain some useful images. If you're looking for something more specific, let me know! Charting game ranking history is my personal favourite upcoming feature. I want a graph with the full history of a game's ranking across all rankings, so you can easily see how many segments it's participating in both past and present. However, another limitation of the current infrastructure is we don't have a persistent data store. Every day we create a new, independent database snapshot containing only that day's data. Once again, this feature will take several months to develop, mainly because I have to go back to work now because I didn't receive enough funding via Patreon, but I'm looking forward to it at least as much as you :)

  Well, when I say "recently" it was a little over a year ago: https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-reviews-change https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-reviews-change I was a bit miffed, as it was announced right as my game was going into EA. Most devs will hand out keys to testers and potentially launch with a dozen or so reviews from that, but with that change none of those were "counted". Then you have to wait for 10 more people to buy and review it before you even get a "Positive" summary. Thanks for the press kit link. That works. I didn't want to be using images like that without permission.
