Feedback on my Steam page? The Sims™ 3 Hi all! I'm working on The Sims™ 3 and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/47890/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 80/100 (Very strong). The weakest parts were links & community (30), demo & social proof (55), trailers (60), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 3. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/the-sims-3 Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
