Tales From Discoverability Land: Vol. 1
This September 2019 edition of a game discoverability newsletter shifts from a single-topic analysis to a miscellany of three recent articles and data points, each with added context and theory from author Simon Carless.
- Steam discoverability is primarily driven by genre familiarity, as players actively seek titles that mirror established, popular gameplay rather than relying on store-wide charts.

- Organic reach for independent developers on mobile platforms has significantly diminished, making paid user acquisition a prohibitive necessity for smaller studios.
