Because not everyone who uses Google is served the “Knowledge Panel”

Here is the context: https://i.imgur.com/ddidQ7j.png

• Rust (video game) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_%28video_game%29

• Rust (programming language) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_%28programming_language%2...

@MilnerRoute next time add a context to your submissions on Hacker News.

Is this interesting? The game's probably equally popular among the entire world population.

I would doubt that it's equally popular to be honest

The game's probably much more popular. According to SteamSpy, it has between 5 and 10 million downloads. A quick glance at YouTube leads me to believe that there are probably billions of views of Rust (game) related videos. Google Trends also agrees, though I'm not sure how accurate it is at distinguishing between the concepts.

So the first response is to the video game, but the wiki link is to the language?

For me it's only Rust the language and I'm in a fresh browser session and not logged into Google. When I search for other Rust language topics I do often get links to the video game but searching for rustlang solves the problem very well.

Asking Google questions without context is confusing.

> Who invented Rust game

Would give better results.
