PSA: Don't forget to rate the games you play and save those ratings

There's more comments on my game than ratings and I'd assume there are some lurkers, so unless itch heavily caches that counter or smt. I reckon several people forgot to actually rate the game or save their ratings. It def happened to me and I went back to such games 馃槄

Comments are of course way more helpful, so keep those coming 馃檪

What is a lurker? As a developer and not the actual publisher, I can for instance only comment, not rate the contributions

Submitted

By lurkers I meant those who only rate, but don't comment.

Only the publishing account can rate and not the whole dev team? That's weird.

Submitted

Yeah, unfortunately I can't rate anything

I think that's set by the jam organizer (this's from a different jam, but I assume these settings are the same for all itch jams)

I guess they set it to the most restrictive setting. :(

Hah, it seems they changed the setting. Now I can suddenly rate!

I brought it up on Discord and it was changed 馃槉
