Have to say that it was not the best week. Looking forward for better one :)

Hi there, is it possible to get these weekly recaps as Email? It would be perfectly for me, since there are so much posts and articles here on unknown indie games that do not interest me much and even on patches of games, that you quickly get lost if searching only for the very substantial news/articles.
(I still deem some articles here not substantial, but its way better and the viewcount and sorted by view - please switch the order - is REALLY helpful imo.)
Liam Dawe May 17, 2016
So, you want the most read articles at the top?
borartr May 17, 2016
Yes, that would be most comfortable. So I can stop when the topics reach small indie game reports for example. But its not that important, a newsletter would be much more welcome. You can link the full articles so you get the view count for them.
