studio notes
Before period 16 to 25 Aug 2026 · after period 25 Aug to 4 Sep 2026.
2 of 10 compared topics clearly differed: positive share higher after for 2. 8 topics showed no clear difference.
Too few to compare: 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03.
Each bar is the positive share: of the players who took a side, by our reading of their words, how many were positive. Mostly different players post before and after, and the update is not shown to have caused any difference.
Combat feel — positive share higher after
6 players took a side in both periods.
Before: 16 positive · 19 negative · 6 mixed · 2 no side.
After: 92 positive · 34 negative · 8 mixed · 2 no side.
Story and narrative — positive share higher after
8 players took a side in both periods.
Before: 18 positive · 71 negative · 6 mixed · 6 no side.
After: 137 positive · 185 negative · 36 mixed · 17 no side.
Mostly different players post before and after, and the update is not shown to have caused any difference.

We compare the same number of days just before and just after an update, on one measure: the positive share, meaning how many of the players who took a side were positive. A higher share does not mean fewer negative players, and a difference is not a change of mind. Mostly different players post before and after, and the update is not shown to have caused any difference.
Enough players: at least 30 took a side in each period, or we do not compare.
Big enough: the two positive shares are at least 5 percentage points apart.
Clear enough: the difference passes a standard statistical check.
Too few to compare: a topic where fewer than 30 players took a side in either period.
The side is our reading of each player’s words. A player is one Reddit, Steam or YouTube account, so one person with two accounts counts twice.
