itch analytics about jam game

Anyone else having strange results on their itch.io dashboard analytics for this jam's game? 

The number of ratings my game has apparently received is larger than the number of plays, according to the analytics page, which is weird. It's happened once before, that there was indication of more plays than the analytics page registered, in a non-jam game. Sure, friends might claim to have tried it when they really didn't, but in that case they'd offered pretty specific feedback, on that one.

Cheers.

maybe some people are rating your game without playing it

That's also possible, of course. Weird thing to do, though.

yeah, the only scenario you might want to do it, is if a jam has like 30 seconds left of the submission period,  and it has 999 ratings, you might want to just click one that has a lot of ratings so it wont affect it, and give it something random, so that the jam would have 1000 ratings
