Congrats guys. Really like all the changes you're making to the site. And with all these new features, you manage to keep it so simple up front. Great UX.
Awesome, really excited to hunt new games and get well built games the visibility and credit they deserve! App stores unfortunately bury so many games, this type of product is going to be revolutionary for the indie out there grinding on their products.
Some things that might make this a little more engaging:
- High scores, posting a SS from your phone to compete against each other within comments? or attaches to your name
- Instead of similar products on PH, showcase that Maker's favorite games / upvoted games?
Looking forward to seeing this evolve!

Just thinking out loud here:
If there is a way to see the games I've upvoted on my profile separately from all the other products, it could act as a wish list of games for me. Usually my wish list exists exclusively on Steam so this could be a start of a universal gaming wish list. That way people can also see cool stats like "most wished games of 2015", etc.
@sshakeel Interesting idea - is there a reason you wouldn't use the collections feature for this, besides the fact that collections are not on the first page of the profile?

@lukasfittl@sshakeel I could use collections as well for that, yeah. It's just that right now the intended behavior looks like this;
upvote = "game looks cool I guess",
add to collection = "I want this game as soon as I can afford it"
To me however, I'd like it to be;
upvote = "game looks cool. I'll get it as soon as I have enough time/cash."
add to collection = "I'll put this game in the RPG or Scary or Weird bucket (like how people have been making collections)."
Right now, if I like a game along with some other products, I lose it between everything else. Feels like I have to "collect" it even after I "like" it. Maybe I am being lazy. I'd like to know how others feel about it.

@lukasfittl@sshakeel Might be going too far here but if there was a way to display price of a game from the cheapest source/store, oh man...
Very cool! Just out of curiosity though - why did you guys choose Games to be PH's first sub-category? Was there a large amount of games being hunted? Also, it would be neat if we could filter the games by platform. Is there currently a way to do that?
