    For example game called Pure rock crawling, even Wreckfest is related as well as AC and Horse riding sim, but not BeamNG.Drive?

    BeamNG.Drive would be as related as Spintires to rock crawling game, but no, not listed. It is so often I find some game which BeamNG would be related to, but not listed, Wreckfest is almost always there though.

    So what is that mysterious tag that BeamNG is not getting from users which even Horse riding simulation gets?

    I think we should somehow add such tag to BeamNG so that it gets more coverage on Steam.

    It's probably not up there because of any of the fallowing.
    1. Beamng.drive don'st update very often
    2. Not a released title (AKA still in alpha)
    3. Not many mico transactions (trading cards do count)
    4. No Major publishers
    5. Currently know for just being a sandbox
    6. Crowed market
    7. Not paying steam to be on the front page (I swear some company's do this)
    8. No multiplayer

    Well, someone has done something, because there is no longer horse riding simulator on that page and now BeamNG.Drive is found from the similar games.

    https://store.steampowered.com/recommended/morelike/app/824720/

    Still it is bit odd how Subway simulator is similar to Pure Rock Crawling :D

    Now we just need to wonder how come Assetto Corsa and Project cars as well as Subway Simulator is before BeamNG.Drive in a list and soon someone does something causing BeamNG.Drive to be right there next to Spintires and Mudrunner, where it probably logically should belong to :p

    Also it seems BeamNG.Drive is getting more visibility in other games similar listings, so definitely something has happened since posting this thread, anyone is free to guess if this thread had anything to do with that or not, maybe there is deep underground connection to be revealed :)
