MODERATORS
Its a different approach I think.
Most franchise titles are wishlisted because you want to probably buy it when it comes out. (Unless it had horrible launch issues)
Indie games get wishlisted because you're interested in the title but are going to wait for reviews or sales or some other factor. Its probably not an immediate day 1 buy unless its something you're just really looking forward to.
