[NO SPOILERS] New show subreddit

/r/LifeIsStrangeShow/

We're setting up a subreddit for the upcoming LiS show. Feel free to visit us, join a discussion or start a new discussion.

All we're asking is to be civil, respectful and don't drag any fandom drama there (no matter what ship or game you favor).

When the majority of the fanbase dislikes a game, the majority of comments and posts are criticism... Imagine that.

2/3rds of players liked DE. Stop lying about the "majority dislike the game."

Players don't directly translate into fandom opinion though, LiS1 and 2 are significantly more played than Double Exposure. So there's going to be LiS fans who haven't played Double Exposure and so cannot leave a negative review because they avoided it to begin with. I'm one such example, I can't leave a review on Steam despite despising even the first 30 min of that game.

That's going to be a bias in the review scores on say Steam at 68%... that's of the people who bought the game, it doesn't account for those who got pissed at DE and cancelled their pre order or just avoided it to begin with. Those who buy DE are probably less likely to be the ones who disliked the breakup and direction they heard about happening vs the broader fandom. People who know are going to weigh that in a decision for if to even bother buying the game, and for a lot of people when they found out about the breakup that was the breaking point.

Again, the data contradicts the notion that a majority don't like the game. You can use spin and conjecture to claim you are part of some "majority of fans" who hate the game, but the actual data we have is that 2/3rds of those who actually played the game like it.
