When folks on Steam (bear with me) post a game for sale, they can tag it with keywords to help you find a game you like.
But most folks have an 'exclusion list' instead - I don't want side-scrollers for instance.
So game publishers have learned to tag the absolute minimum. Because every further tag reduces the eyeballs your game gets under.
- ipnon 4y agoThis is the fundamental difference between active search and happenstance. The first starts with a practically infinite set that must be whittled down, the second an empty set that requires some effort to make additions. Outside of traditional matchmaking human courtship used the second for all of history until a decade or so ago!
- thephyber 4y agoIn my dating app experience, I noticed I didn’t trust the null matching for filter fields. Also, when I exhausted my search results in a metro region of 5million+ in a few weeks, I didn’t trust that the filters were working the way I wanted. Agree that some profiles filled out the absolute minimum, but I quickly noticed that they weren’t active (or matching with me) and wouldn’t have made good dates anyway.
