dnovraD: Hmm. If what people have posited/theorized, I assume one of those is the console release.
Ok, the first one is by Broken Arrow Games, Eneida Games and the second by Broken Arrow Games, Hydra Games SA. Does that help?
Yet another anomaly, this time concerning Call of Duty. The first game from 2003 has just 162 votes at the time of writing, whereas there are 6036 votes for, of all things, "a drastically reduced port of the original Call of Duty for NGage", according to the description.
This honestly looks questionable to me... unless we are supposed to believe that more than six thousand users actually voted for the NGage version, because they really want that one in particular.
Also, comparing Wishlist and Dreamlist entries for Space Hulk, I suspect a lot of Wishlist votes were for the 1993 game rather than the 2013 one.
While the 'relevancy' sorting option has made finding the right game much more pleasant, in making its recent changes GOG seems to have messed up the 'release status' filter. It now treats 'all games' as equivalent to 'only unreleased games'. Try a search for Sudeki, for example.
Big issue with the Dreamlist, nothing from the Wishlist has been added. I added Obey Me to the Dreamlist but it was already on the Wishlist with votes.

What was added was what had over 1000 votes. And not always accurately even then.

Balatro was not added. It had over 1000 votes.

Plus several titles did transfer: Under the wrong title, or to the wrong game.

As stated earlier in the thread: I did not vote for an Age of Piracy game that I didn't even know to exist, I voted for a Sci-Fi game with the same name. A large amount of people voted for Valve's Portal (even if that is a long shot), and not for an obscure 1980s microcomputer game.

Hello, confusingly named sequel!
I imagine this one is down to the Database that GOG scraped using the wrong titlecard.
https://www.mobygames.com/game/1152/sim-theme-park/ uses Sim Theme Park as the main title and Theme Park World as one of the aliases, so perhaps it's related to that.

Hey look, a trilogy of games we already have. (Keen 1-3 are listed on the Dreamlist when we have Complete Pack.)
https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/isis

It's not clear which "Isis" this is. I'm hoping that it's this "Isis" (a first-person pre-rendered Myst-like, set in a pyramid and a vehicle for the band Earth, Wind & Fire). But without a cover-image or description, it's hard to be sure.

(As such, I'm holding off on voting for it until I have a better idea of whether it is that "Isis" or not...)

You can ask the submitter. But there is a chance it is that, since they seem to focus on adventure games.

Edit: And checking MobyGames, Giant Bomb and IDGB, it seems to be the only game called Isis. Which I find quite surprising. Granted, on IGDB, which seems to have been established to be where GOG gets the Dreamlist info from, that entry is completely blank, which leads to it being completely blank on the Dreamlist as well, so no way to identify it, but the MG and GB ones do refer to the same game.

I'd like to know when they last pulled data from it, then, because it has an entry for Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake but I still can't add that to the Dreamlist.

Hmm... You're right. I checked MobyGames myself before posting--but I see now that what I took at a glance to be more games with the name were in fact people whose first name is Isis.

Of course, there are a few other games with "Isis" in their title, but I suppose that it's unlikely that it's one of those.

Fun fact: I myself put in a submission for the game a while ago, and obscure as it is, I'm a little surprised that someone else apparently submitted it, too!
I'm looking over the dreamlist, and I've apparently voted for 300 or so titles, so that gives a good depth of statistical data for the metrics chasing idiots to look into.

Broadly speaking:
The high average of stories on games is in the low teens. Standouts are around 50, and Freelancer breaks out at nearly 500 stories shared.

Of the 300 or so games I've voted for, only two of them haven't budged past two which seems to be the floor.

Straight out, there are over 10 pages among my votes which don't have stories associated with them.

Pages 14-27 are all under 100 votes per game.
