Follow attribute not returned
The 'follow' attribute for a game is never returned from the API.
For example, I would expect the following query to return "follows": 466 (as per the website).
fields name, follows, hypes;
where name ~ "last of us: part";
limit 10;
Instead, I get:
"id": 26192,
"hypes": 325,
"name": "The Last of Us: Part II"

Hey there, we don’t actively support Follows (and Hype) as a data point. We need to update our documentation to reflect this, apologies.
Follow is part of the private endpoint we are sunsetting.

Any news on that point? I can't even get hypes on games.

For example, hypes returned by the API for Halo Infinite is 68, while the website says 'follows' is 19. This is assuming the API doc definition of follows as 'Number of follows a game gets before release' is correct.
