(Not sure what category this is supposed to be in)
Hey 
So you guys know that weekly email you get (if its enabled for you)
Well the three stats it gives on plays is sessions in the last 7 days, in the last year, and total.
And as it seems it always seems to me that week one always has plays when this is impossible, coz one of these games is not even public on gd games and i think the last time i opened it was last year! 
Not anything major just wondering 
Mine are way off, I have an unpublished game that was once available and had 54 plays or smtn and EVERY week it says, 'ā54 Sessions in the past week, 54 sessions in the past month, 54 sessions in the past year!ā I think what may be happening is that they need to fill in 3 games for the email and they cant do all 3 so they recycle and old one perhaps?
What do your dashboard statistics in the app look like for these games?
Iām not sure what is the problem yet, I guess there might be session reuse from one year to the next that shouldnāt be happening, or a calculation error somewhere.
If they are on gd.games, they might be getting views from ads that bring people to the site, and from the āfind a random gameā button on the homepage.
My game is hidden on gd.games and is nowhere else, and it is set to private link only so nobody could access it at all.
Besides, the email says that it is getting 54 plays each week but the yearly is not increasing, so there would have to be something wrong with this.
You are correct, the weekly game stat email is off
Thanks for the topic, zgc. Yep, the stats are meaningless for me too. Hereās an example. I have a project that is hidden on gd.games. I made it a few years ago. Since then I shared it with one person and then neither of us ever looked at it again.
The dashboard correctly states that there were 3 sessions in December 2025 and no other sessions in the last year. But every week since sharing it in December, the email game stats say 6 sessions in the last 7 days, 6 sessions in the last year, 26 sessions in total.
Thatās one example, itās the same story with other game stats too.
Yes ā¦same for meā¦I think itās always been like this tooā¦perhaps proper Devs with thousands of plays a week on multiple platforms are blissfully unaware of this ā¦but Iāve games that havenāt been played for years ā¦and they apparently get n number of plays every single weekā¦n is always the same value ā¦but itās still reassuring to know ā¦if it could also include a line about me showing no signs of age and one about my impressive physiqueā¦that would cap things off tremendously!
Same here, have 1 prototype on gd.games that was used for testing one time and every single week since it says 32 plays in the email, even though those 32 plays were from just that one session
