Like button doesn't register if already pushed

Summary

The thumbs up (Liked) button in the menu isn’t reporting if it is clicked in a previous session. This is counter intuitive to players because they see that it is liked, and thus expect their play session to count as a like.

In the current state, it should Un-Click, so that players can click it again if they want to like the island this time.

This is why you see the very low Recommendations quantity even on top performers right now.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an island with a low enough player count that you can test this.

  2. Like the island. (I did this with friends as well)

  3. Come back tomorrow, play the same island.

  4. Look at the “Like interface” in the main menu. Notice it is still thumbed up.

  5. Check your analytics.

Expected Result

It registered the first day, but not the second.

Observed Result

Either the thumb button should NOT be clicked, thus giving players a clear indication that they should click it if they liked it, or the Like should count again each time they played the island and left it with the thumb up set.
