Rating System Update

We’re raising the quality bar for games published through Stake Engine.

Effective immediately, games that receive an average rating below 1 star will not be approved for publication.

What Happens If Your Game Falls Below 1 Star?

  1. Your approval thread will be closed and locked.
  2. The thread will remain locked for 7 days to give you time to make improvements.
  3. After 7 days, you’ll be able to resubmit your game for review.

This is not a permanent rejection - it’s a chance to improve and resubmit.

Why?

  • Very low-rated games don’t provide value to players or creators.
  • They often require the most review time and resources.
  • We want to maintain a higher quality experience for everyone.
  • This helps creators focus on improving and ultimately earning more from better games.
