I see usually about ten games, but when I refresh the list, five of them migh've changed and all in all I very often find full games that were 1/6 ten seconds ago. Which leads me to believe that I'm not really seeing all the games as it would be strange that there would be a huge influx of new games and players but the number of games would remain constantly at ten or so.

Well the obvious answer is that yes, there are more than three custom games going on - the list only shows games which aren't full or started. However, there is also a problem with games not showing up properly in the lobby even when there are open slots. The display is kind of wonky in general.

Also, if you downloaded the beta patch, you're only seeing games hosted by other people with the patch, which is a tiny minority of the Demigod community.

beta?
