I recon you are right about your involvement with games having something to do with it. It took me about 10 seconds to figure out the most likely source of your "undeserved" popularity: You care about games and write very detailed reviews. 121(!) of them, if the counter is to be believed. Even without playing any of those games I can tell that that kind of feedback is bound to be helpful for game developers.
Thank you for your hard work. A good chunk of those 50 followers will probably be developers who are eternally grateful for your continued efforts!
From personal experience I have learned that those kinds of reviews can become a magnet for "Could you test my game for me?"-requests. Look for indicators for how much "they" care, before you accept. It's easy to lose several evenings writing detailed PMs, just to get a "thanks" in return and see none of your suggestions realized and none of the bugs you pointed out fixed, once they submit their game. Some people just want to hear that their game is perfect - even in cases where the "game" is so bad it would be a gamble of it blammed before the moderation removes it for breaking the site rules...
My advice would be to have fun, but to be mindful with what projects you invest your precious time into. From where I stand, you are a gift to the Games Portal - and I'd hate to see you be driven away from it.
