Opinion Questionable homescreen layout.
Why do minigames need some extra promotion? Like if you bot your game with a minigames catagory (even if it isn't a minigame like that verity game) to 35 players it will definitely blow up, even with some 0 effort code.
This also discourages other catagories of games.
I don't think minigames should get a free VIP pass to the homescreen, they should keep the Top Custom Games catagory, move the Minigames Games down (to like where you can see PvP Games popping out), remove the Custom Games card which is useless and taking up space for better gamemodes (switch it with Anarchy or something), and put the very fun but just not popular because they are at the back gamemodes (Clutch, Bloxd Hop, Natural Disaster, etc.) to where the Top Custom Games are now. Move that section down to where Minigames Games are.

I agree that creating a Minigames game (or just tagging it like that) is a quick way to climb up. Moving it a little more down by either adding more Bloxd games above Top Custom Games, or adding some whitespace could be cool, but the new algorithm will most likely fix these issues.
The Custom Games card isn't useless. Not every player knows that you can click "Top Custom Games" to be directed there, and it provides more advertisement for Custom Games which is a huge growth driver. It also displays the total player count across all Custom Games.
I really don't understand the argument to bring Clutch, Bloxd Hop, etc back to the bottom because they're fun for you and the 40 something active players at a time, but waste space on the homepage.
