I completely agree with you.
I think that up to a certain point, it's "fair" to highlight and offer rating opportunities for games that haven't recieved many views. But I could imagine that doing so would involve some kind of reward, for example, appearing on other people's lists or something. Because in reality, I've voted for many games, still have games on my waiting list so I can't vote for games I've chosen to play, and my game still has no votes. It makes everything tedious and frustrating.
It would also be helpful to have an idea of the number of games in our queues, because I initially thought there would only be 5 and then I could vote on the chosen games, but it seems to be infinite -_-
