What does clicking "Follow" do?

What does clicking on 'Follow' for a game do?

I have no idea but I would also like to know.

Notify you of new forum posts probably.

What about watching a topic?

I think it notifies you of edits made to that wiki.

I think.

Not to thread hijack, but where the hell is the friends/followers list?

On your profile. Click the numbers.

Still have no idea exactly what following a game page does... wish there was some sort of guide to the new site that laid out all the things and what they actually do. I also dislike how I can't quickly add games to a wishlist anymore, have to go to the list itself and add that way... though over the past month lists don't work anyways so I guess who gives a fuck anymore?

Maybe it should explain what Following is on rollover.

Reviving an old thread here, but upon trying to figure it out this is where Google landed me.

What does following like a game do? Is there a point to it?
