Yeah, the numbers are still higher than anything other than AGDQ22. I imagine they expected they could set the incentives pretty high because of last time.

I suppose a literal war that upended the whole world has a little bit of an impact, but it's not like this isn't bringing in donations.

They are 150k above last SGDQ for a more apples to apples comparison.

I get the sense that they set the big incentives ~10-25% higher each year. Or at least that's what looking at incentives from the last couple of years makes it look like. Also there's things where they clearly misjudged interest like FNAF.

Also 1 million, impressive.

Was that an incentive or just a challenge to hit 1 million by the end of the run?

the last seven years with full data (there's no agdq15 on that chart posted a few posts earlier) they're at a 4-3 split

agree on the incentives though

You think you want this but you probably don't. There's a lot of tedium and luck involved in any route where you have to procure gear and the hunts go on way longer, which also means more opportunities for rotten luck.

You might enjoy some of the longer-tail runs, like allmother%.

Yeah I mean more like, grab rank 7 gear and go through everything. You'd still crush all the early stuff but at least the later fights would be more fair.

I don't wanna watch somebody have to grind to get the right drops to craft a weapon/armor, but there are fights in the game that you can't really out gear as much.

Was there some big delay or are they just accounting for other regions with the schedule ending at 6am on Sunday?

Not sure why they think people care about Sound Voltex enough to make it an incentive for over $100k Though, I am also pretty sure there are emergency donors that will cover whatever is remaining when it comes down to it. Has an incentive bonus game not been met and skipped before?

They did end up having to rearrange the schedule for that thoroughly mediocre Five Night's at Freddy's game, which was a lot of trouble to go through for not a lot of payoff.

it's still kinda weird to me how platinum's made a bunch of genuinely excellent games - mostly a mix of solid AAA and midshelf stuff - but they're teetering on the precipice of insolvency, especially after babylon's fall got railroaded into a live service model that made it DOA

if they hadn't gotten nier: automata they'd probably be out of business by now
