How often does steam update Game Info?

[Kaunitz]

I have made a Steam Review for blender but it didn't become Public Review. What do i mean? It was 1196 reviews last month and same now. How often does steam update Game Info?

Whether your review is public or not got jack to do with how often game info is updated.
I think, you've seen the usual automated content checker. It will take a while (in my experience a couple minutes) to check your review automatically for crap (i.e. evil URLs) and then publish it. ... which the text on top of your not-public-yet review informs you of as well, read it!

Got absolutely jack nothing to do with updating game info.

Then keep waiting some more. It's not like you have any other choice anyway.

Just to confirm, we ARE talking about the same thing, are we?

Now that we've established the public status of your review to be a red hering you dropped, not the actual topic, there isn't a known time frame. You have to understand that updating every single counter in real time simply isn't feasible with millions of users all over the world and current tech.

So disregarding future quantum internets, such changes get propagated through the system. A safe bet is to put "weekly" as the upper limit as there's weekly maintenance. When's the best time propataging changes, when not then?
But that's just the uper limit. From my (unscientific) observations, this propagation work on time spanes of hours.

Cache invalidation, by the way, is one of the two hardest problems in informatics.

Including those gotten directly through Steam by devs? That's an interesting factoid!

Well, if you push "Add to your library" near Free Game - it will be shown like "Key Activation". Dont know about Devs keys. 🤭🤭
