Lemmings

So here is a decent Lemmings Game on Steam, it is for free, it is fun, it is not easy to beat, but I don't get it why there are only 10 reviews. It has everything a Lemming game needs. I'm not the Dev nor the Publisher, just a random Lemmings Fan and I think this game needs more attention.

So if you are a fan of this sort of game, just get it. It is woth your time.
And if you want to give the game more attention leave a review.
It is the only payment these developers can get.
And this is a gem from 2015

Because there are roughly one hundred and seventy thousand items on Steam. Just go to the store page and use the search box without typing anything.

And could you imagine what these forums would look like if everyone posted an advertisement for each of their favorite games that no one is interested in?

Maybe there should be a new subforum for advertising your favourite game

Because discoverability on Steam absolutely sucks. If the developer/publisher do nothing outside of Steam to promote their game, this is the result they pretty much expect.

"Everybody posts, nobody reads", so, forum business as usual.

My post about Sakura Cupid would be pinned, of course

Actually the Lemmings Series has a large fanbase, if somebody is not interested in the topic, why should he/her post something about it?

And why would someone want to peruse a forum where it is filled with nothing but posts advertising a game someone liked and complaining why it doesn't have a lot of reviews. There's a reason most forum spaces have a specific rule against advertising.

so it is nothing to sell, and it is just a question for fans of the genre. a friendly reminder that there is a brilliant posibillity to play a good game and have a good time. i don't see that this is advertisement at all. but feel free to leave the discussion, if you are upset about it.

Whether you are selling something or not, it is a dictionary definition of advertising, which violates the posting rules. If you want to advertise the game, you can do it in that thread I linked if me explaining a rule upsets you.
