"Incursion was a successful league."
Looks great to me ...
New AAA games that cost 60 euro last a week, a 5 year old free to play game that releases a PATCH brings tens of thousands of people back for at least some weeks. That right there, is success. | |
" Chris has said before that they actually make a lot more from supporter pack/regular sales than from whales. Since most people buy their supporter packs before league begins, doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that the graph would be a massive spike before league begins and would drop almost completely soon after. The real question you should be asking is what the hell does the graph actually tell you? You seem to not quite grasp the business model they are in. They are not in a month-by-month revenue model. Their entire revenue premise hinges on these leagues. So as long as the league hits their target (and who the hell cares if it hits the target in 1 day or 3 months.) the league is a success from a purely financial view. Problem with this entire thread is you're trying to find a single thing that defines success for GGG. My guess is that you have never, ever worked for a corporation in your life and have no clue how KPIs and targets work. You don't get told 'Go hit this target. I don't care about any others.' Literally no one works like this. ~Myth |

" So if the total peak on launch day was 140,870 and 95,800 were from steam, thats alot less then half. | |
" in the first 4 pages of the manifesto thread where they say they are keeping it: 28 positive responses that are happy they are keeping it. 1 negative response by a guy who thinks it sucked and doesnt want it in the game. |

" True. But we don't have a comparison to day 7 of Steam vs non-Steam. How about day 30? |
|
" Yea, you can assume everyone who downloaded the standalone client is probably more likely to stick around than a random steam player who say the game featured as free to play and downloaded to try it out. Steam gives so much exposure that tons of players probably download, try 5 mins and leave. |

" Now I just clicked on about 15 profiles from page 1 to the last page, and all the ones I clicked besides 2 were standard only players with no char in incursion or flashback. Now there could be more people that are incursion players but seems that majority of the people happy are the standard players since it will be basically new content for them to play. |
