The number of times I visited each game's page shouldn't be public information. That's creepy.

I didn't realize for a long time but you can view someone's profile then right there on the side are games followed with the number of visits to each game's page. I think there's a justification for site admins to see that or maybe be public if you mod the game. Inactive mod on top of few visits probably isn't what the community needs.

Else it's super creepy / stalker-y and I think we are all entitled to a basic level of privacy. Just seeing the games followed is one thing and helps build community and see what you have in common. Leave it at that.

You can turn off other users seeing which games you follow in Settings under "Privacy".

Thanks, I didn't know that option existed. Would be nice to have a balance of views private with games followed public. Or an option to reset my views.

You can reset them by unfollowing then refollowing a game again

For what it's worth, the counts probably aren't very accurate anyway. The "last visit" dates are definitely bogus.

not sure how its creepy or "stalker-y". very few people look at others profiles and even when you do you usually just go through the runs.

and usually the games you visit most often are the games you run the most so the visit count barely even means anything.

but yes like already said you can turn it off if it really bothers you
