Clearly you don't know how statistics work. Medians can be the average if it suits the purpose of your math. Much like the rest of statistics.

This is why we shouldn't take refugees.

This place is refugee central, you would know.

"average" and "mean" are the same, the sum divided by the number of components.
"median" is a completely different thing, it's just the one thing in the middle of the scale. It's like if you arranged 100 people by height, median would be guy #50.

That's how (((statistics))) work. Not statistics.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

I'm aware of that, too. The guy we're talking about is practicing (((statistics))) like many others in his field. It's commonplace and has been for decades.

Kikes doing it constantly isn't an excuse to go "oh well it's commonplace so let them be." Always stand up and challenge misinformation. You won't convince the jackass spouting it, but you may convince other people who might have listened to him if you didn't speak up. That's why we argue about games on here. "Your favorite game is shit" isn't trying to convince the OP that his favorite game is shit, his mind can't be changed. It's attempting to sway others not to play his favorite game if they see the thread in passing.

The developers of Morrowind are far more likeable.

I'm one of these retards that will continue to use steam and half my library is full of trash that I don't even remember getting. The average moron won't even play half the shit they get. Either from a bundle, giveaway or it being dirt cheap you suddenly end up with a lot more games.

I hope you realize some day that this is the ideal scenario for trash developers. You say it like it's a bad thing, but this is what they want. They don't care if you play it, they got some money from you. They got a sale. It doesn't matter that it was garbage and you never played it, they got their sales numbers which they can wave in front of a publisher to get money to make another garbage game.

How much of that is actually from games and not stupid shit like Counter Strike cosmetics I wonder.

Well at least in recent years my dumb purchasing's decreased to a minimum. I think a lot of people are now focusing on 1 or 2 games and sort of ignore everything else. For me I've just been going through my bottomless backlog and been emulating things like Rune Factory for the first time.

I have the same issue with both. I downloaded a bunch of Popcap games out of nostalgia but I have yet to install them. I think I have over 100 gb worth of installed games that I just don't play.

Mmmmn… steamed hames.

Steam is saturated, just like Google Play. There's a game for everything, and there's probably at least 5 different shitty versions of it on Steam.

Not to mention people got used to Steam. Years ago people would buy shit tons of shitty games because they were 20% off. People have learned now that Steam sales are bullshit that will get you 50% off of a game you'll never even play.

I think the guys study has a ton of flaws, but it's foolish to think you can chug out shitty indie games and make good money on steam. That ship has already sailed. But listening to him whine about being too late to a market is a solid sign he doesn't understand the first thing about capitalism.

Get out.

I miss when steam had flash sales and generally sales for appealing/good games,all those gifs and webms of 80 or 90 percent aren't on good games,they're on garbage or something everybody already owns.

Steam died when they got rid of limited time sales because it was UNFAAAAAIIIIIW to people who couldn't access the store within that time frame.

This was just the chosen excuse used so they could shekel their users harder and you know it, why dignify a dishonest pretense by repeating it?

No, it's more like a giant hoard of talent-less hipsters saw a lot of people making good games and lots of money, and then jumped on it thinking they'd all make the same amount of money.

The hipster hoard has arrived on Steam, and they can't understand why they can't make money like people did in 2013.

2013, a little over 500 games were released on Steam.

No shit you can't make money on steam like you used to. Maybe if the hipster dumbfucks didn't spend all their time trying to over-saturate the game developer market by wanting to bring in more and more game developers, we wouldn't be this far out of fucking control.

If you anons weren't aware, Steam takes 25-30% of every game sold. On average. You can sometimes negotiate better rates.

Funny thing is that this cheaper than what a brick and mortar place like Gamestop or Walmart would charge. I think they get 35%.

It's really not so much a crash as it is the indie bubble bursting because the market is filled to the top with low quality trash no one is buying. The big publishers and their developers won't go anywhere, smaller and indie devs that made a name for themselves will still turn a profit.

nigger, we're talking about a guy who started mining half/v/ and full/v/ for ideas to make a game to do two things:
>redeem himself in the face of half/v/, who hated him so much they bullied him off the site twice
we exaggerate a lot on here, but i think i can honestly say he's the biggest faggot i've ever personally interacted with in all my years on the internet

Retail rates can also be negotiated but good luck with that unless you're self publishing and also have a good track record.

Basically. I could imagine Steam lowering their take if you did something like shill their hardware or VR or some shit. Places like Gamestop and Best Buy usually ask/demand for bonuses exclusive to customers who buy the game from them if you want different terms. (Preorder shit.)

I have to agree. Indie game market is saturated, and everywhere you go, you see tons of shitty indie games. They are even flooding Nintendo eShop. The bubble is going to burst. This isn't just a Steam thing, it's an indie game thing. And the whole indie scene is going to start bleeding developers here pretty quickly.

Considering the indie term has become a useless monicker that only works as a red flag this isn't exactly a bad thing.

I think it has more to do with the fact big names can demand concessions because they know Steam will make a shitload of money regardless of what they cut is, and it will help them maintain their defacto monopoly.

Now, if only Steam could do the smart thing and clean up the store from all the low effort garbage it has accumulate over the years maybe things would return to some semblance of sanity.

The few good games that come out still sell just as much, it's because steam is flooded with babbies first gamemaker trash because there is no quality control, what a dishonest bunch of garbage from these yids

It's a combination of things, user. There's no denying that being a major publisher with a yuge game (like GTAV or something) can probably negotiate better terms; especially if they expect to have a long profitability tail with DLC, MTX, and that shit.

Like all business, everyone wants to get everything and give nothing; it's adversarial as fuck.

This, plus the 30% take, is one of the major reasons that places like EA, Blizz, and Ubi have their own storefronts.

amen, as fucked as people are for being suckered into "renting" digital games, things weren't THIS bad

I cannot stand it when people conduct themselves this way. What does it achieve aside from infantilizing themselves?

Don't forget that Steam handles distribution all by itself. With retail, you still have to print the disks, ship them, and Gamestop takes its share on top of that.

That's one of the reasons Steam really caught on - they might take 30%, but you still save cash because you don't need to physically manfacture as many disks / boxes / whatever.

At least look at the bullshit you're uploading before you shit up the board.
More shovelware gets shoved on Steam because Valve just lets everybody dump their 3-hour programming project onto the platform and because of that the average sales go down.
Amazing conspiracy you've uncovered, retard.

Indicating they're not attempting to project any sort of dominance and thus not get yelled at by the scary girls.

But "the games" are selling just as well as they always have, now you just have some additional garbage that is pulling the average down, but that average has no real meaning for anything, since steam doesn't care if they are selling 1000 games with 10 sales, or 10 games with 1000 sales each.

Speaking of steam, are there any tools out there that essentially unjews your steam library? Something that removes the need for whatever steam dll's and whatnot so you can just play your games without steam?

Steam allowing all this trash on killed any indie games markets that existed. It went from separate markets where you could compete to having to have a big enough budget to allow for marketing and corrupt journalist pay-offs. What a shitfest.

God I hate that fucking kike.

It's a simple fact that you can't trust ugly motherfuckers. As soon as they get attention from somewhere more desirable, they'll turn traitor. You should only trust game devs that stay in shape. Self confidence is a potent panacea to limp dicked behaviour. A fit dev will never turn his back on you.

Kind of shame we haven't had a longstanding working archive for those prior years.

At this point, I'd be surprised if anything ever comes out. He clearly can't manage the project, as the game has grown considerably in size, scope, and complexity. His updates have also slowed.

To everyone who is whining about using the median rather than the mean, I'm going to try to justify this. Things that are sold generally follow an exponential, or fractal, distribution of some sort. This means that there are many games that don't sell shit and a few that make millions. You may have noticed that incomes are generally reported as the median, as they follow the same properties. You also see this when looking at most populous cities in a country: there is generally ONE big city, a gap in city populations, four or five that are half that size, another gap, then twenty or so that are a quarter that size, etc. Due to the megasellers (the Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffets of Steam games), the mean is skewed upwards and is not really indicative of the results that an "average" person can expect (where average is defined as some individual chosen at random). As such, the median is used instead.

This is what happens when you have no quality controls and allow the market to get oversaturated.

The worst part is the basic idea of trying to figure out an effective mechanism for estimating sales before release is actually a solid idea, but this retard's going to poison that well with the unique combination of incompetence and malice only seen in the progressive game journo.

There's a steamfly article linked upthread that's covers it much more rigorously.

Everything you need to know about Yandev can be summed up in these words:

Steam is just approaching the Appstore - a million worthless garbage apps with sub-1% that are worth your time. It's basically a platform for people to vomit out, say, ten games and hope that one even vaguely gets any sort of good press - one small-scale hit could pay for a hundred flops. we'll know it hits rock bottom when one popular game comes out and hundreds of clones spring up and bring us back to what happened in the 80s

It's already there, they're just not in genres Holla Forums plays.

If they actually make a decent game they can strike big for how much is put into making it. Like Terraria. That sold millions.

That's basically what AAA is like these days, with endless remakes/reboots/remasters and they even Frankenstein bits of existing games into other games. It bites certain smaller devs too though, like look at any Tamsoft game.

I think so, they are either beyond salvation or on the cusp of becoming another sort of ignorant NPC.

Actually, seriously think about the irony here.

As opposed to those publishers that only work with robots.

More like imagine your stomach in her face, instead of being able to kiss and cuddle her. Those stubby legs are no good for locking either.

My first exposure to Steam was thanks to Half-Life 2. On dial-up. Thank god for the target21 crack. That was probably a great way to learn to steer clear of any game dependent on online and now I only play games that I have assurance of keeping, official or not.

No but most do. Unfortunately life isn't always fair.

That's when we'll get the crash that needs to happen. Thankfully I have little reason to care if it burns to the ground since there's enough great games to last a lifetime.

Nice job, faggot. Why don't you just start handing out invitations to vorefags now?

Why bother? They won't breed.

Actually, that's a smart idea. While they are busy hacking each other to bits, you can fuck off as far away from them as geographically possible.

What could that possibly achieve? They'd just hunt you down anyway. The genre savvy thing to do is embrace the insanity and tame them.

What the fuck are you talking about? I'm saying that during CSitMP that's where she'll be staring.

HOW DARE YOU UTTER SUCH FILTH

Back to 4tropes faggot.

I'm surprised more competent people haven't already started making a clone of his "game". They know the market is already there, all they need is make something with more content, which, considering the pace cuckdev is going at, isn't all that difficult.

It isn't. It's literally a meme game.

lol

So? Normalfags will still buy it. God knows they've thrown money at worse shit.

Steams profit is increasing year by year. Gaben will not run out of hamburgers anytime soon.
Try not to be retarded.

Got a link?

Read the thread you fucking retard. Steam might be making money hand over fist but the platform is becoming much less lucrative for the actual developers.

Why would Gabe care as long as he's making money?

These stats are almost entirely due to mobile shitgames being ported to steam for pennies.

Because the bubble is about to pop.

The "developers" you are talking about here are the indie cucks that shit out walking simulators like Tacoma or Sunshie, and the asset flippers that shit out a dozen games recycling the same garbage they bought on the Unity asset store. They aren't making money because their games are shit and no one wants them, so they whine like the subhumans they are instead of making a good game.

If Age of Decadence, niche as it is, can make enough money to justify the developer to start making a new game these fucking clowns have no excuse.

And? He's still going to make money. He's been doing it for over a decade. If I were him, I'd have been saving up my earnings so I wouldn't have to give a shit about market conditions.

no, they don't. Most don't.

The indie bubble is about to burst. Big publishers and successful smaller developers aren't going anywhere.

Two new games, there was that dungeon crawler as well. Granted I don't think The New World will be that good, I dislike the whole continual community-developer interaction thing that it has going on with codex, it strikes me as a sign of a lack of commitment to an idea.

Exactly, suddenly you're going to see the indie clique jump into a new field, probably try to become political talking heads or something.

Nah, VD is pretty clear about what kind of game he wants to make, always has been. AoD is a pretty impressive achievement for someone's first vidya project, and the New World looks to be even more ambitious.

I honestly don't care what they decide to shit up next so long as they are finally gone. Not like there's many other mediums they can go fuck up since they've infested every possible aspect of Western culture and made it worse.

Reminder that Dlsite takes a non-negotiable flat 50%

i wonder what kind of extreme low effort game i can shit out to goyfarm steam for a few hundred a month

I like my faggots dead.

That reminds me, aren't those same fags making Necromunda now?

You never fooled me!
Your game is shit, and should be free

Are we sure that is even female?

No but we shall purge it, just because we can.

I hope they don't fuck up the new Mechanicus game. The intro was pretty well voiced and written, they seem to have a competent Black Library writer for the script so the only thing left for them not to fuck up is the gameplay. I would be more than satisfied if it was on the level of NuXCOM.

It's amazing how much abuse people will put up with because the premise is everything they ever wanted.

How the fuck does that make sense?

With that game at least there's a bunch of alternatives so it's not really them getting starry eyed so much as it them being entry level faggots who weren't even around when Spore and Fable taught everyone a valuable lesson.

A new what now?
Did you mean Quisitor Martyr?

Nope. New turn-based game where you lead your magos and his troops looking for ancient technology.

Also, about a hour long interview with some gameplay.

activision was super greedy since the 90s anyway, if anything it's gotten worse in recent years.

Remember his name and the name of his shitty company.
Boycott and attack them at every chance.

Those.

Stay mad, soyboy.

Killing them is the right thing to do.
All problems on the industry can only be fixed by first killing those open-mouthed soyboys.

Because they should never be allowed to exist.

It is their fault and their problem. Not the consumers'.

fuck

But it's based on a turn based tabletop game.

consumers aren't absent from the equation, but it's mostly people like valve, nvidia, etc. fault. They're the ones who constantly parade around how great PC gaming is, how big it is, and how much money you can make.

the fanboys, consumers in this case, are part of the equation, acting like valve is 100%. We've all seen it.

Turn based is legit.

It doesn't really make much of a difference though, now that Tencent bought Vivendi's shares. Same kikery will happen, just from a different megacorp.

I have to admit, this does look pretty cool.
Looking foreward to it.

A store that's saturated with shit is bad for everybody, stop pretending it's just some asset flippers or pretentious indie boogeymen getting fucked and crying about it. It wasn't that long ago that you could browse the catalog of Steam's new releases completely raw and decide for yourself what games could interest you. Nowadays it's so packed it's become virtually impossible to do so, small developers once again have to spend money they don't have on marketing because there's zero visibility, and people miss out on games because they never knew they existed. There's also the issue of getting burned one too many times buying trash, making consumers less likely to try new things. Even piracy is affected by this tidal wave of shit, with hidden gems never getting releases, unseeded torrents and the unfeasibility of trying most games by yourself.

Nah, hop in an oven if you want heat you kike.

I've got it: "NoMoreIndians"

A publishing label built around working with actual people.

Post modernism's one hell of a drug.

He uses both you dipshits.

One game sells 1 000 000 copies, 50 other games sell anywhere between 1 000 and 25 000. Average sales figure is 32 000 copies. Median is 13 000 copies.

In other words, average is fucking useless at best and malevolently misleading at worst.

Yes, consumers ARE absent from the equation.
ANY seller must treat it's consumers as kings.
We demand, they obey.
Whenever that treat is broken, we ruin everything for them, even if we don't have the right to, because we can.

And people getting burned out of buying is increasing rapidly. And once you get burned, you abandon ship completely, and never buy again.

"NoMoreShitskins" would be better.

No it didn't, "trope" is a purely grammatical term referring to nonliteral use of a word, having nothing to do with recurring patterns, and you won't find one single dictionary definition stating otherwise prior to the site's popularity in the 2000s.

TV Tropes itself readily admitted this soon after going online, keeping the term as part of its choice to create amusing neologisms for everything rather than figuring out what the proper terms for patterns it had identified were, and only making up terms when it made something new. This all got wallpapered over when a wave of pretentious nofun faggotry called SPOON came into being on what had been an almost wholly unmoderated site, seized all the new mod positions, and purged all traces of lightheartedness.
t. -pre-crash troper

Got any more stories of how it used to be?

Yeah, I'd love to hear more. Who goes and adds articles for every little obscure web-comic and flash game in existence?

You kidding? Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, DayZ, PUBG, the entire state of the Roguelike genre.

If it helps, the guy who runs it now is someone who makes games for a living. He got butthurt when Yahtzhee gave a bad review for one of his games and he threatened to remove Zero punctuation from the site.

It was interesting, because it had all the mechanical characteristics of a shithole like early 4chan (totally hands off administration, no hotpockets, totally unsecured pseudonymous "accounts" without even the password protection of a trip, zero content standards, no permanent history, etc.), but without the shittingdicknipples that usually result. The site's community was unironically one of the nicest (if a bit dumb, probably due to low age) I can remember, and the niceness was completely organic. There were things like an "ultimate troll page" that pulled zero punches, yet people didn't get butthurt about it, there were jokes and banter mixed into lists in every page, but none of the arguments ever got angry, just amusingly autistic.

If I had to describe it succinctly, it felt like if ED was made by normalfags.

The downfall came in stages. IMHO the first stage was the breaking of soft taboos against things like (seriously) expletives or porn that had existed to then, as newfags started arriving too fast for acculturation. The userbase had always had a large fanficcer component, but there had been an understanding that everyone would try to be classy. Incidentally, this would result in an accretion of filth that came back to bite the site through its Google AdWords advertising, forcing a massive purge that was also used to justify yet more totally unnecessary censorship, but that was years down the road.

After that, was the forum coming back and causing mods. The forum had existed before, and been shut down due to hacks, but when it came back for good, it was ultimately what lead to the recruiting of moderators. That isn't to say the forum was inherently bad, but it was the first part of the site to get modded, and even if they started exercising a light hand, all the first batch of mod recruits were the biggest dicksuckers on the forum, and the first posters to get posts/threads deleted, and eventually banned, were almost invariably the highest quality posters on the forum, and the shiteaters that repeatedly provoked them were always treated as victims by the mods.

The beginning of the end was when the forum gained formal control over the rest of the site, particularly the "Trope Repair Shop" subforum and its "Crowners" system, which consisted near entirely of squeaky wheel busybodies that would repeatedly push the same unpopular idea, in the face of rejection after rejection, until their lucky day when enough of their opponents weren't present to object, and it suddenly became irreversible law. These people were the ones who pushed for the first mods on the wiki, the first editlocks on the wiki, the first forced renames/moves on the wiki, and the first page deletions on the wiki.

The point of no return was the great negativity purge, which was done through phases of segregation. First everything "opinionated" was split into its own namespace of the wiki (YMMV), then everything "negative" (Darth Wiki), then the removal of real life examples because of "sensitivity", then full "example section-ectomies" to create "example-less" pages for "sensitive" tropes (probably the most ironic being when the page for "Jump the Shark" had its examples purged, since that very trope was inherited from an entire website by the same name, which had suffered a similar downfall shortly before most of its members moved on to found TV Tropes), then those entire namespaces were deleted in one fell swoop, and finally the "new normal" of outright random mass deletions in the main namespace was instituted. At the same time, the forum was reorganized, with the Holla Forums-like "On Topic" subforum having massive numbers of harsh rules imposed on it, and the Holla Forums-like "IJBM" subforum simply being deleted, accompanied by a massive deletion of the forum's years-long archive history for "performance reasons".

That was about when I fucked off.

He's the same guy who always ran it, I think it's just that his soul wore down, and the abuse routinely practiced by his mods gradually rubbed off on him.
