This stops games with only one vote from going straight to the top. Games with four or more votes get 100% of their votes counted, games with three votes get 80%, games with 2 votes get 60%, and games with only one vote get 40% of it. How To Vote: OK, so the games you like best aren't at the top. Maybe they're not even in the chart at all. The answer is simple, vote for them.
