im confused how this disproves this conversation; gilder and others are suggesting that a fast game would attract more players. The fact that new players have come because of sales and youtubers does not answer the question of why they left. Many games experience new comers for the same reasons and are able to retain those players, why not GOIO? i cant answer that question definitively but neither can you. you say "maybe such-and-such reason" and i say different. we are both essentially picking information and extrapolating conclusions that cant be proven or disproved.

Please, show me a non-major multiplayer-only title game that, after a set of youtube exposure videos has managed to retain a substantially larger amount of players than Goio has. I'm well aware what you and gilder and a few others have suggested, but there's zero evidence that something like it would actually have any sort of positive influence and would magically get all the peoples.
All I did was point out what else was going on at those times which resulted in supposed player loss which directly contradicts the doom and gloom of awmahger nerfed the pyra and everyone left spew that was happening.

I know a guy who lost interest in the game because of the Pyra/gat nerf. :P
enough anecdotes and it can become a statistic!

Congrats, you know a guy. Singular.
Yep, that surely means literally everyone who's ever left the game did so because of that too.
Spud Nick:
Can we talk about the squid moving faster again?

@Imagine: I'm fairly certain that Velvet was agreeing with you on that.
--- Quote from: Cpt Janeway on April 04, 2014, 10:25:07 am ---yeah I know there is no way to actually prove causation (short of a statistically accurate survey) I and gilder are suggesting the possibility. but let's remember there is also no way to disprove it either.

I can't disprove that my entire life is actually a dream, but there's no evidence to suggest that it is.
The person making the assertion has to provide evidence, not the other way around.
