October 15 morning | Charts and near-term attention
Comparable changes first, followed by genuine baselines for new entries.
Steam: first baseline for attention-led entries
This issue reads 50 actual positions each from Top Wishlists, Popular Upcoming, US Top Sellers and Most Played: 200 displayed positions and 172 unique app IDs. The first two are positions under the default Relevance ordering, not exact wishlist ranks or counts. US Top Sellers is revenue-ranked; Most Played uses player activity. These entries differ from yesterday’s date-led prefixes, so no cross-period Steam change is calculated.
Released observations within the window
over the hill: store date October 14, purchasable, US Top Sellers No. 3. Hood Warfare 2: October 8, purchasable, No. 4; the store shows 1,763 reviews and “極度好評” (Very Positive), but four of the first ten current review cards do not recommend it, and a full online FPS is costly. Trash Day: October 13, purchasable, No. 42. These are October 15 morning snapshots, not measured rises to those positions.
Today and the next 14 days, separately
Today, October 15: Brick by Brick remains locked, at Popular Upcoming position 5. For October 16–29: Flipping is Hard (16th, position 22), Loop Dungeon - Incremental (19th, position 32), and Emberville (27th, position 18 and Top Wishlists position 30, planned EA). The recent window is October 1–14. Pages do not establish a precise source timezone, so no exact boundary-day release instant is invented. Finite prefixes do not exhaust these windows.
Topic changes and unchanged observations
Douyin’s outfit topic moved from 39 to 9 between the evening and morning observations, with heat 7.734m to 9.443m; two points only support that interval’s change. Four Hongguo boards yield 79 actual rows, with position 19 missing on the AI page. All 120 Fanqie titles across 12 categories were checked against current screenshots, but the statistical cutoff remains October 13 at 24:00, so it is not a new statistical day. Gengbaike’s latest-upload prefix contains the same 30 BV IDs as the 03:18 Beijing baseline; upload timing is not meme origin.
Coverage and exclusions
TapTap and itch.io have no usable new data this issue because of access limitations. No Steam standard regular CN price was obtained; currency conversion cannot establish CN pricing or a verified under-CNY60 selection. Dressmaker’s detail reveals September 21, outside the window; it is excluded from recommendations, and its comments are not included in the seven in-window games or the 30-card denominator. Bilibili Popular has 20 actually visible cards; another 20 preloaded DOM cards are not counted as observed.
