“I don’t play the Midway games. They’re just not my thing. I have nothing against them and they have earned their success. They are well-engineered spaces which run smoothly and provide hours upon hours of entertainment for a lot of people”

I’m sorry Norse but, have you ever even been there!? Haha! They’ve gotta be the single WORST spaces ever made, evuuur! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a lot of fun at the Midway but sheesh! From a technical stand point there’s only one word for them; Broken. It’s all rosey after a few months of tweeking but I can guarantee the first boost sales of those tickets were ironically down to people having to buy more because of freezes, glitches, server stutters or bugs etc. You’re bang on about why these things are in the charts however, and almost make me feel this singular chart is showing us the knee-jerk sales rather than the steady flows. It’s a bit like when Microsoft tried to tell the public that Xbox units shipped were the same as units sold, just to seem more popular. I think you should dig to find more data to paint the broad picture.

Oh and that baby pic made me laugh my head off, well done!

There’s an obvious reason why My Personal Hideaway is on the list, and that’s the second fossil digging site that it opens. Granzella seems to have struck a chord with that game. We apparently like daily tasks that can serve up a lot of rewards.
