Curious Observation on new fellow Forum Members

[kalauer]

So while I was not looking for it in particular, I had to notice that that there are a lot of new forum members active in the patch/update/hotfix threats requesting specific changes. I also had the impression the requests are not always in tune but maybe that is just me. In general, of course, we can only be happy about more people loving PDS games enough to invest their time here, but is there a special reason for this?

Did Megacorp draw that much attention or is my observation just wrong or nothing unusual? Usually, I am more active before release than after so I am unsure.

I think it's just because Le Guin is such a far-reaching update. Every single playstyle has been changed, and some have been broken. No one's played everything and we shouldn't expect people playing different ways to notice the same issues.

Message boards have been declining in popularity ever since social media became popular, so I imagine the only fresh blood we get nowadays are either the minority of people who still frequent message boards or people so passionate about a change, good or bad, that they just have to register.

Also, Paradox games are becoming more "mainstream" than they were 5-10 years ago, so that might account for why there's new people. I can mention Paradox games in conversation with gamers nowadays and not have them look at me like I have three heads.

I tried Stellaris on launch and was not impressed at all. Always was dreaming of a 4x game, where you don't have that retarded tile system, plus got tired with eu4 and Victoria and wanted to try something new. Got a Stellaris bundle with a discount and here I am (ignore the join date, never posted anything on forums)

Isn't that the case with like 80% of Space 4Xs?

Are these new as in you don't recall seeing them or they have a low post count, or new in the sense that they have not even linked their Paradox and Steam accounts and consequently don't show current products (or maybe none at all).

If the latter, these are often people who have been banned or are on probation or are trying to avoid such.

I always love scifi and only knew of this game recently through google. Just after getting familiar a bit with the game, Megacorp arrived. So I'm here to feedback.

Also I don't understand why Commonwealth of Human called Earthers "Alien scum" and hate them? It happened on my second playthrough of the game (first was Earth obviously). They are all humans ffs. I was shocked at that.

A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that 2.2 introduced a ton of new mechanics and bugs. When people google those bugs, they often end up here. That's what happened with me.

Just stock dialogue for any aggressive xenophobe talking to another disliked empire. Having two empires with the same species is not a normal thing in Stellaris (unless an empire breaks-up mid-game).

Not really related to the game directly.
