I literally posted the stats for Fakku, lets refresh you shall we?



'Fakku, LLC is the largest English-language hentai publisher in the world.' - Wikipedia quote.

The most popular US tags according to the most largest hentai publisher in the world ^^
I am, strangely enough, NOT in a state where futa is the most popular. (Cali being NTR makes way too much fucking sense. :ROFLMAO:)

Probably take ntr with a grain of salt...it's apparently a common way to refer to a popular Indian actor.

I can see that NTR is a very popular genre among players in general, I like it a lot myself, so I'm happy that my game will be tackling the genre.
A very controversial fetish has many fans as well as many irreconcilable haters. If your game contains NTR, then sooner or later the anti-NTR brigade will come to your thread and start telling you and the visitors what crap NTR is, and therefore your game. :HideThePain:

If my goal was to research what games are popular, I would simply list them sorted by weighted rating and look at the first few pages. That would give me a basic idea of what the average player likes.

I would also compare this information to a list of the most popular creators on Patreon and looked in what games they make, what art style they use, etc.


I think that would give me an idea or two about what's popular.

absolutely disagree, a lot of the top games by weighted rating are just stuff that appeals to a niche audience (homosexual, futa bottoming, furry, monster girl, emo games, etc.)

so they get lots of high ratings from people who enjoy those niches but they dont get low ratings because people not into those niches either ignore them, filter them out, or dont bother playing them

The rating system is not perfect, but nothing better has been proposed yet. And double checking using information about paid patreon subscribers corrects a possible bias error. If a game has a high rating and the developer has a lot of paid subscribers - you can safely assume that the game's content is quite popular.

This is silly. The same is true for all of the kinks, this is why and how the system is supposed to work. If you don't like a kink, don't play those games and don't rate them. Ratings are generally from people who like the tags on a game except for a few very bitter outliers.

if 50 people play a gay game and rate it 4.8 stars and 500000 people play a "vanilla" game and rate it 3.1 stars which is the more popular game?

The latter is more popular because it's a weighted rating.
Like Race of Life with rating 4.7 is on the first page, while Formula Zero with rating 5.0 is on the seventh page.
Because Race has 1285 reviews and 3M views while Formula has only 101 reviews and 49K views..
