Poll results
From 10 December 2011 to 11 August 2012, the following eight polls ran on Sandra and Woo. All of them got over a thousand votes and it’s time to present the results.
Poll from 10 December 2011:
Unsurprisingly, the short story arc about Larisa’s and her father’s differing view on art got the most votes. Although single strips of it were criticised, the long story of Sandra’s search for Woo got 17% of the votes.
Poll from 10 December 2011:
Only a tiny minority of our readers thinks that the comment rating feature is bad.
Poll from 10 December 2011:
A good number of the Sandra and Woo readers also read Gaia. Some want to wait until more material is available.
Poll from 10 December 2011:
Fluttershy is best pony. Rarity needs more love, though.
Poll from 6 April 2012:
According to our readers the quality of the story lines posted from strip #315 to strip #355 was pretty consistent.
Poll from 6 April 2012:
$10 to $15 for an Sandra and Woo seems to be a reasonable price according to our readers. Of course, the final price also depends on the chuck of the money going to the sales platform.
Poll from 6 April 2012:
Role-playing game are by far the most popular genre. One of the most surprising results of any poll running on Sandra and Woo is the unpopularity of action games with just 2% of the votes although it’s the genre with the most games and best sales numbers.
Poll from 6 April 2012:
Or, in other words, 49% of our readers pirate music, 33% pirate movies, 29% pirate games and 34% pirate no media. (There’s a calculation error regarding the percent value of the last option.) I’m sure these numbers would be much lower if big media would treat their customers not like potential criminals and offered DRM free content.
Granted on the game questions, that is only the demigraphic of people who read the comic, or found their way to it around the time of voting, but I would have to say I’m torn between RPG and Action/Adventure (also known as a Platformer).
Still, it’s very interesting to see the results of this.
I wonder, if this was done on a larger scale, what would happen, and if the game media would get a kick in the pants for saying that RPGs were dying out. I for one sure hope they keep making them. We just need good ones.
I don’t play games, but I’m getting the same feeling that there is a considerable demography for RPG games… just probably a smaller, more picky one than for action games! That’s probably the main reason why they may seem to be “dying out” if you only count in quick money.
Can we vote about color being dropped from the comic? I’d vote against it.
