What happens is that you, the dev, end up spending more time worrying about getting your wishlist counter increase than playtesting the game, making tight gameplay, adding a bit of soul here and there. Communication is both time consuming & a different focus than the game itself.

The thing is, in my opinion - as a dev more than a communication person - most of these advices can be useful for a team who has at least a couple of persons dedicated to working on the com, but they can be particularily bad for a very small team of "devs only".

I've been exchanging with @shin_yeo a little about game marketing and communication. And I've realized that, these days, you can quickly be overwhelmed by the amount of good practices, tips and methods to gather wishlists, get featured or visible on the social networks.
