minus-squareMJBrune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down2·10 months agoEh, I feel like the sampling is clearly biased toward those who would install a game engine through a service that auto-updates it. (Novices and hobbyists.)
minus-squarederpgon@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down1·10 months agoAnd - thats exactly what that means…? An uptake in GODOT usage would mean novices and newbies are trying it out. Every new user is a newbie.
minus-squareMJBrune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·10 months agoSure but it doesn’t really reflect the studios switching to Godot. I think they are likely switching to unreal.
minus-squarederpgon@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoOf course it doesn’t, it’s a number that days how many people are running the app, that’s it.
minus-squareMJBrune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months agoYup just pointing that out because some folks aren’t seeing that. Not everything is an argument.
minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·10 months agoFor sure an uptick, but who knows by how much? I agree this is useful for showing something, but it’s hard to know what really from this alone.
minus-squareKnusper@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoI imagine, Godot doesn’t collect usage data on its own. So, this is likely the best data there is…
