There are over 6,300 subscribers to Uberpie on Patreon.
Nearly 30,000 have downloaded v0.97.5 from GoFile links in OP of F95. That's not counting Mega, MediaFire, PixelDrain, or WorkUpload.
Then there are the other sites similar to F95 that people download the game from, then the torrents, and personal sharing between friends, etc. So, yes, it's tens of thousands that play Taffy Tales. I actually attempt to downplay numbers with more conservative figures because of people who may contest the data. It could be over 100,000 people who play each of the recent versions of Taffy Tales - but I stuck with thousands/tens of thousands.
Alright. tens of thousands of downloads.
I don't know why you waffled between thousands and tens of thousands on the initial post though.
should have just said tens of thousands clearly to begin with without waffling.
Yes, lots of people download this game.
your initial waffling on the number looked sus as hell.
Thanks for clarifying that you actually do have numbers to back this up
Since the release was announced here (
#28,391) there have been nearly 1500 posts made by about 579 users.
View attachment usernames.txt Of those, about 62 have more than 2 posts. Of those, 30 have more than 5 posts. Of those, 16 have more than 9 posts. And that's counting everyone who posts - not just those who are vitriolic toward netorare. That would be even fewer.
So, yes, a minority of a minority of a minority, etc...
There is a problem with your logic. You explicitly argue
> A portion don't like X
> Of which a tiny percent post
> Of which a tiny percent complain
> Of which a tiny percent complain loudly and repeatedly
(and forgot to account/mention the fact that sites actively censor such complaints)
so yes, I agree with you that loud complainers are a minority of a minority of a minority as you say.
But your logic is that due to the loud complainers being a % of a % of a % they should be ignored.
But, they are indicative of a much larger portion who doesn't complain according to your very own arguments.
Most people who see something they dislike just delete and move on without complaining.
That does NOT mean that you immediately do anything that some rando complaining online says.
The reasonable and normal response is to perform polls to gather more info.
companies routinely perform actual polls to get an idea of what the community at large prefers.
uberpie does patreon polls as well as discord polls.
Where are you getting the idea that uberpie made decisions based on the loud complaints they received on F95
and not based on the actual polling data they gathered from their paying customers on both patreon and discord?
