Steve --
You might want to consider deleting this piece, giving it a new title and art, and submitting it to FanFare, which has the best game coverage on Medium and would get you more readers. That's perfectly legal on Medium.
I'd also suggest that you apply to its editor, Eric Pierce (particularly to write about games, but also other pop culture phenomena if they interest you) to become a writer for the publication. It's very well established and respected (the leading pop cultural pub on Medium), and has fewer writers on games than on movies, TV, etc.
I left a note about this for Eric, for whom I write a column 3x a week, but he's a one-man show with a day job, and it might take him a while to respond. You have nothing to lose by applying in the meantime. You have to send a sample of your work but you could send your cozy games piece as is without the new title and art it might need if FanFare wanted to use it.
