Unable to Find Similar Games

Use to be that when I searched through games I would find similar games on said game page labeled "More Games like" so and so, now all I see is "More from developer", "Follow developer", "Add to collection" and a "rate game" button. Did you guys remove this button or is this something to fix on my end?

Same here, all I can see is the same few games, always listed as recomended, and this started last friday.

On my other game pages I was able to notice a huge drop on views by recomendations, from around 10k  views week to 0 now.

I believe this is a bug because no matter what game I open,  the "More Games like" is just showing the same ones for almost a week.

I'm glad you showed up, it's weird but I liked your game and I'm worried when someone just disappears. Anyway, I hope you are well English is not my first language so I'm sorry about anything Anddd hi and tchal, or are you going to look more?

The button is gone but the page still exists which is more frustrating.

So you can find the same thing by googling, Itch.io games like (and the game in question)

But its an exceedingly clunky way to do it and I am not sure why they would remove this feature as its the key reason I even come to itch.io

I reported this as well - https://itch.io/t/4012109/games-like-this-pages

The pages on Google don't seem to work properly. They exist, but they just load the same set of games no matter what game you reference, most of which match what you see on Featured Games.

There's a bug on the tracker associated with this - https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/1637 but only for the links when you buy+download a game, not for the pages themselves being gone.

Oh, they're back? Cool. I see 'Related Games' again and they seem to be working.
