How many of you did Thanos snap away?

It just dawned on me that at least 50% of the galaxy's population, if not more, have been "snapped away" by Odyssey today. For example, when I briefly logged into Horizons, my friends list showed EVERYONE as "ED: Odyssey". Meanwhile I'm in "Galaxy Prime" (Horizons) for the foreseeable future, a "post-snap" galaxy until this Fall when everyone blips back together again.

I'm not complaining - I suspect my instances will be just as full when I go to CGs, and I'll still run into people randomly as I travel the Bubble. But I am curious as to just what impact the "snap" had on the galaxy. Are there any metrics out there that show how many people are playing Horizons vs Odyssey? It's kinda strange to think that half or more of the entire population of the galaxy has just disappeared from my reality today. That goes for everyone moving to Odyssey, as all us Horizons holdouts have been snapped from your galaxy. At least we can still speak to each other via the soul stone system chat.

It's kinda too bad there isn't an in-game lore / Galnet story explaining the disappearance of half the population, along with lots of dust floating around stations.

Can't say I've noticed really.

I was starting to wonder if I'd been relegated to some kind of "shadow server" already.
I think I've seen one other hollow blob in the last week of playing ED.

I dunno. Maybe everybody was in the Odyssey alpha/beta/whatever rather than the live game? 🤷‍♂️

Duck, we're not protected by Hammer of Thor, we're protected to the shield of Lore! It's a pretty weak shield in this game, but it works.

Havent played in weeks (months?). If i do its definitely going to be horizons. My potato computer falls short of minimum specs and flushing 800 to 1200.00$ down the drain to buy hardware at inflated chip shortage prices to play a game that doesn't even play... ya, no. Thanos can have them.

Don't bother. Even people with new generation GPUs are having a hard time keeping the game at 60fps. Hell, someone with a 3090 said he can't maintain 60fps at 4K even at Low settings.

There's no way Odyssey is so groundbreaking technologically that a 3090 can't run it at 4K

Maybe by the time they figure it out the bitcoin mining and chip shortage situation will have calmed down. Some years from now.

Looks like the fog of first release is thick with this one.

Didn't pre-order or play the bug-hunt. So I'll be on the Horizon end of things for the foreseeable future, if the Odyssey version won't run on PCs similar to mine, I won't be buying a new PC anytime soon.

I'll keep and eye on things here.

well most people can't buy a new computer even if they wanted to, considering the shortage right now. FDev basically shot their sales in the foot on this one; Odyssey basically requires a 30-series Nvidia GPU to reliably stay over 60fps at 1080p, but those are the cards that you literally cant find anywhere

Exegious did a non-scientific flash poll of his viewers, and 2/3rd's had bought Oddy.

I'd say that might be representative of the high-enthusiasm audience.

I just watched for the laughs. Not disappointed. :)
