My game has not been updated in Most Recent once in three months

I've run into a strange problem. I've been posting my adult game on the site for three months now, but it has never appeared at the top of the Most Recent feed. Why is this strange? Because other games don't have this problem. New games that were created just a minute ago appear there immediately. My project hasn't been able to do this for four major updates in a row. The settings are set to No payments.


What could this be related to? Has some kind of restriction been placed on my account? If so, how can I see it and appeal it? What should I do to fix this situation? There is traffic on the game page, but it is traffic that I attracted from my social networks. The game page is not dead and I update it every month, but there is no response from the site.

...No, it's because games only appear in Most Recent once when they're first published. After that you have to make a devlog post marked Major Release or Update, and have it approved by itch.io staff.

That's right, that's what I did. I have four devlogs with Major Release. Does that mean that for some reason the administration did not approve my publications? Is there any chance of finding out the reason if that is the case?

If itch.io staff ever communicates the reason for a decision, it's almost always privately over e-mail, in response to a ticket.

What should I do in this situation? Contact support?

You can try that, but approving devlogs is at their discretion. It's not supposed to be a reliable advertising channel.
