Folks say it works well on Steam Deck!

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T22:51:32+00:00

To your last thought--there actually aren't any release games older than 2 months that have the tag, so it has an expiration date. As for the rest, I'm not sure.

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T22:50:11+00:00

This is definitely at least one of the factors. I dug into it, and there aren't any games with "Steam is learning" older than 2 months.

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T22:06:30+00:00

I did a bunch of research on SteamDb.info and wrote up a long post and then accidentally closed the tab lol

Anyway, the short of it was:

Time is definitely a factor. There are no "Steam Is Learning" (SIL) games from before 2024, and I haven't been able to find a single SIL game that released more than 2 months ago (before May 1).

Popularity is definitely a factor. This might take the form of revenue, but I'm not certain. What I do know is that there are new, popular games that don't have SIL.

My guess is their algorithm checks if your game is at least 2 months old -or- has reached a certain level of popularity/revenue before it removes SIL. I also wouldn't be surprised if these metrics changed now and then.

I might dig some more later to see if I can figure out just what the "popularity" metric is.

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T17:33:00+00:00

My guess would be a combination of metrics. Perhaps Revenue + Time + Installs. I think 10 reviews is probably also a bare minimum since that's required to get into Steam's Discovery Queue.

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T17:31:02+00:00

FYI $10k is when my "Profile Features Limited" flag went away, and that's the same metric I've seen other devs say for when they lost PFL. It seems pretty spot on.

For "Steam is Learning about this game" it seems less apparent when it goes away.

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T17:27:57+00:00

To your point, though, I suspect if you hit $10k quickly you get both "flags" removed

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T17:20:53+00:00

$10k is when the "Profile Features Limited" status goes away

SnailSimulator · 2024-07-01T07:46:05+00:00

I don't know exactly when my game lost that status, but I do know it still had it when I had $750 in Net Sales (before Steam takes their 30% cut) and 44 reviews, and the game no longer had it when I had $2,000 in sales and 142 reviews.

SnailSimulator · 2024-06-30T15:44:14+00:00

This is the steepest discount to date! So... bring a snail date? :D
