Matches come from the tags Steam players vote on each game, weighted so a rare tag counts for far more than one that sits on half the store. A game's popularity never moves it up this list.

How are games like Dota 2 chosen?
Every game is described by the tags Steam players vote on it. Rare, specific tags such as Free to Play, MOBA, Team-Based count far more than catch-all ones like "Indie" or "Singleplayer", and each game is scored on how closely its whole tag profile matches Dota 2's. Popularity never affects the ranking.
