Record lows are still records!

It's amazing. Last year skull and bones had zero players. This year they broke that record!

Engagements can mean positive or negative.

Reminds me when bioware put out a poll asking if mass effect 3s extended cut met expectations.

Yes.. Yes it did. I expected it to be a bit meh and that's exactly what I got.

"look they love it!"

Everyone is engaging in shitting on this game!

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 8 months ago

I mean, if nobody was playing the game before then even one person playing it now is actually "record player engagement".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe if they add an another A it will hit more records. AAAAA?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Yes, they record player engagement so that they can check back on it later and look at trends over time.

Can I buy groceries with engagement?
