fluger Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 By no means comprehensive, this was a survey that went out that had over 1000 responders. http://www.totellstories.com/40k/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 With this data set, I think promoting OFCC as a casual EVENT and not a tournament should bode well for it. I'm also glad to see that only 25% of people like team games. God, I hate those. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 It would be pretty much impossible to do properly, but it really would be interesting to see a proper survey of the whole 40K hobby. "People who are into 40K enough to look for 40K stuff online" is already a pretty significant bias, and then there's the further issue of what they're spread across various social media was. That said, this does fit pretty well with what I'd expect from what I see of the 40K Fora and Blogosphere, so looks pretty good that far at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Erk. 101.5% of players have a SM army? This makes me hate the whole thing. lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From now on you're not allowed to play anything other than team games at any event I run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Erk. 101.5% of players have a SM army? This makes me hate the whole thing. lol They did at least put in the qualification that they were double-counting people who own multiple SM Armies. I'd qualify as three SM Players, the way they tabulated that, for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I personally love 2 v 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I think these numbers also represent a smaller more concentrated player base than they would have years ago. I seem to find people either who are done with 40K and GW because they were unhappy with the game and the company or people who still play being generally enthusiastic and happy with the current game. I think the borderline malcontents have moved on to other games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I personally love 2 v 2 games. I've always struggled with co-op. I can beat Contra without dying on my own, but can barely crack the 3rd level if I have a teammate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's bad statistics, either way... I'm pretty sure they know that, and just did it as a joke, to emphasize the ubiquity of Space Marines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Does seem like they tried make the results look a certain way. Still, interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Its not bad statistics since they say they are not accounting for people owning multiple space marine armies. In fact what it does show us is that for every 100 players that enter the market that somehow there will end up being 101 space marine armies entering the game in addition to the other armies that might be coming in. This basically reinforces the fact that overtime people will pick up another army or two. I would like to also see what break down of those space marine players have 30k armies, it is quite hard to play 30k without having a legion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 It is bad statistics, just because their disclaimer makes it sound like they aren't counting multiples as well. Whatevs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Would be nice if they had a breakdown by chapter. Would also be nice if they conclusively defined army. If just 1500pts is required for an army, then my "army" includes multiple armies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
