I saw about 3 seconds before YT stopped it and asked me to log in. 3 seconds was more than enough!
It is indeed a short October bar. Portents of a shorter XMas period sale-wise?
It's not the first time you see one month do less than the month the year before (november 2017, june 2018, August 2018, July 2019). You can't say that's a sign that backers slowly stop funding. In september 2018 you could have said it with solid data, not now.
October 2020. The 1st month after Q3, after SQ42 nit released, after 'Its done when its done', during the special Halloween event, during the annual Citizen Con, Star Wars Squadrons released (and failed by all accounts to keep long term multiplayer)...
October 2020 the final month before CyberPunk 2077 (I wont play it so cant comment), before ED brings out legs and FPS (not 3rd person though and no in ships at launch), something something Space Engineers type new thing I cant recall the name of, NMS I have no idea but seems to have settled down.
If this were the stock marker Id be selling is all Im saying. I can see the start of the decline. Its been predicted many times for a long time. Its my first time and I predicted October as being the first month of the decline. I posted it here somewhere saying next 12 months it either goes down the pan or it probably continues for 20 years more. Im still curious how accurate I am, so there is some confirmation bias....but its also what I expected.
I predict a slower than usual ship sale for the next one. I predict November & December cash is going to decline. And its only a few months away from collapse without cash from backers or Private Investors. I do not rule out PI being used to save it, I am saying public money is drying up and October was the first sign. CIG know this and its why they threw out any graphic that 'worked'. I predict more of this unpolished stuff as they try and keep attention, more distractions as the old ones dont last anywhere near as long as they used to, desperate to show they have achieved anything at all coz they cant answer the important questions. Theyll forget all about it 'not being up to our standards of refinement' and just show any old thing that looks new but the quality will get less and less.
I don't say it with 'solid data', its a prediction based on what I see happening, the same way I would the stock market.
Presumably you predict or expect business as usual? Cash will flow in in Nov & Dec and be a large % of the years take as has been for last 8 years?
We'll know within 2 months and I hope you have a Happy Christmas regardless of which way it goes. And if you havent tried Elite (got it in my head from somewhere you havent played it? could be 100% wrong so ignore if so) but its on Steam for $5 or similar I believe so maybe worth a shot. It is different but may give you some of what you want right now while waiting, rather than just waiting, and it should run on an average PC I think (im no expert I play on XB). And its a lot of un right now, theres a fair bit going on and a 2 year storyline we are just at the beginning of, come join us, hatred of SC not necessary you can keep all your opinions intact no problem
