Universe Sandbox popularity over time
« on: November 15, 2014, 08:15:55 am »
I decided to post this in everything else because it is not an in-game thing... well

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=universe%20sandbox&cmpt=q

How can we analyze this? What caused that peak?

I think I remember Dan saying something about it, the spike in 2011 was probably when he first released it on Steam. It was on the main page for a while or something and got a lot of attention. Not 100% sure.

It seems vaguely sketchy that most of those hits are from poland

Agreed, however filtering the search to USA or Canada only gives a similar graph. But it probably doesn't reflect number of people then.

What upsets me a little is that the popularity seems to be decreasing a little. Also, the release of US² Alpha doesn't seem to have created a spike.

Maybe all the Alpha Tester Rejects are badmouthing the developers...
