Hot & Cold game lists – useful or just hype? 🔥❄️

[TomMichel]

Anyone else noticed those Hot & Cold sections on gaming homepages?

Would be interesting to see how games like Crazy 777 are featured in these lists. One suggestion though — platforms should explain whether “hot” means popular, recently played or something else entirely.

What do you reckon? Are these lists actually useful, or would a proper trending games section be better?

From my understanding of the 2 words, 'hot' means the game is being played by so many players simultaneously, whilst 'cold' means very little activity going on.

Alternatively, it could also mean paying quite well regularly, or the game is literally in a dead mode.

In the lobby, the Hot/Cold category in most cases refer to the games' performance over the last 24h.

I rarely play a 'hot' game, thinking I'll probably be late to the party, while I tend to avoid the 'cold' games
