No, they looked at the overall bar and figured out which games require the lowest number of CPU-hours to complete and proritized them. Made sense when we didn't know how the thing worked, but now we know that finishing a game well before the end of the countdown just wastes CPU-hours, and some of the games that got prioritized are ones that would've finished before the release countdown by themselves.

There's a bunch of people who are unaware or don't care about the ARG... if that's a high percentage of the install base then the game doesn't need help. The amount ARGers can help a game then depends on the games sales... games that have sold less are easier to affect.
