Gamesay is a video game analytics service that tracks how much people are talking about PC and console games. Every day it publishes a score for each game it tracks, called the Gamesay Conversation Index. A higher score means more public conversation about that game. Gamesay calls the public attention a game earns the conversation economy.
The Gamesay Conversation Index is a score that reflects a games conversation volume within the set of games tracked. It is not a reflection of sales or any other metrics. A game can be widely discussed and sell poorly, and a sales chart will not show that. Gamesay does not publish how the Index is calculated.
More video game content is published every year, and all of it competes for the same audience. A game now holds public attention for less time than it used to, and must compete with an ever growing volume of new media. With AI now a participant in the creation of content, Gamesay expects the volume of new media that consumers are exposed to on a daily basis to grow exponentially.
Gamesay currently tracks conversation daily for research purposes and shares the information via the site so anyone can see how much conversation a game has and how long the conversation lasts. The information is free, and a publisher, developer, streamer, marketing team or fan of a game can check whether an announcement, trailer or showcase generated conversation and how long it held. Gamesay encourages the use of the information publicly, see Section 4 of Terms for Gamesay's requested use guidelines.
