Sync Steam links with "Is it made with Godot" curator clanid

Open Repiteo opened this issue 10 months ago • 7 comments

Steam app links support the ability to attach an id of a curator to them, making said curator more likely to be recommended in the future. This retroactively applies this functionality to all existing steam app links, tying them to "Is it made with Godot".

How "official" is that curator?

It's maintained by @akien-mga, so pretty official

I think this would be better to do from a global javascript that checks for the steam links and appends the curator code instead of modifying every link that exists already. Also, even if Akien is the person behind that account, it is still labeled as unofficial when you visit it. Do you have any source about this improving the likelihood of the list being recommended?

It's pretty official as I maintain it, but I'm not the original owner of it, and I seem not to have enough permissions to fully edit it (e.g. to remove the mention of it being unofficial).

I'll get in touch with the original owner and see if they can fully transfer it to me.

Out of interest, what exactly does adding this ID to the links actually do? I've read the above, but I don't really know what "making said curator more likely to be recommended in the future" means.

I think that people that click on these links will make them see the "Is it made with Godot" games more often.
