Which, to be fair, seems to be exactly what you've done with the latest update.
Well, that's more an objective measurement of how effectively a game is being marketed, not how much public interest it's generating, perhaps in spite of itself. And it's the latter the HoM attempts to gauge, not the former. Normally they go hand in hand, but not always, or at least not in equal proportion.

I'm still not convinced that any of the new top three have supplanted GM as most-anticipated game, but since at least two of the three have definitive short-term windows before release (or completion), it was time to give them some additional props. Presumably GM will still be around in six weeks or so when it's time to do this all over again.
