Well, Grand Theft Auto IV is finally here and has taken over the popularity chart! Kind of predictable (but well deserved!), I guess.
Which brings me on nicely to the way the charts are calculated. It's something that's been bugging me for a while. I don't know about you, but I've noticed a bit of a trend with games like Grand Theft Auto IV, MotoStorm, Gears of War, etc. being insanely popular and wanted by everyone for a few months...and staying in the charts forever more (well, until the next top title is expected).
That's okay, but it does tend to lead to a bit of staleness in the charts. Over the months, the games that everyone got bored with quite a while ago cluster up at the top of the charts.
So, I've decided to blunder in (uh-oh!) and tweak the way in which game popularity is figured out. From now on, not only will it take into account how many members want to swap each game, but also how recently those games have been added.
This will take a month or two to become really apparent as the new calculations kick in, but I think it will help keep the charts much fresher and up-to-date.
