Maybe I'm missing something but I thoughts Steins;Gate did really well considering the competition and its playrate compared to other games, and even other Visual Novels on B8.

S;G is in a unique position where it's a well regarded VN, but also a large number of people who haven't even played it would put it on their list because they watched the show, since the show is widely considered such a strong representation of the original. I personally know 2 people who would say S;G is "probably" their favorite VN, even though they haven't played it.

Compare to Umineko, for example, which is widely considered one of if not the worst VN adaptation of all time, even more so than the infamous Tsukihime.
