Mostly Bastion. I believe that the popularity ratio of Bastion game/Bastion tech is much greater than Rust game/Rust tech.

(I almost can’t believe I just made this metric up.)

It’s a well known metric, as of this moment. Popularity ratio = (Total sales) / (Number of GitHub stars of the project).

Bastion ratio = (3 million/1953) = 1500

Rust ratio = (9 million/52700) = 180

Bastion sales source (2015) -https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog/transistor-earns-60-ind...

Rust sales source (2019) - https://facepunch.com/news/2019

The metric isn’t perfect. It should probably decay the popularity of older games and unmaintained repos.
