Gameplainer

Player feedback monitoring for game studios

Hear your players before your review score does.

Gameplainer brings Steam reviews and forums, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and more into your team's Discord, and flags the players who own your game but haven't reviewed it yet. A helpful reply is often what turns them into a positive review.

Crashes every time I open the map on Steam Deck. Love the game otherwise.

Why Gameplainer exists

Built to answer the right players faster.

Chris Hanney started Gameplainer in 2016 while running community for Space Pirate Trainer, one of the first consumer VR games. Community management back then meant more than triaging bugs. It meant explaining what VR even was to chads on Reddit, and working through an endless list of hardware problems that era of headsets brought with it.

In 2022, on Shredders, he added Xbox monitoring for the first time, and he has been fascinated by Steam forums ever since. Since shipping Starship Home in 2024, Chris has focused on making the best possible tool for community managers and curious CEOs.
