Ron Whitaker, people getting exercised? This is PC gaming we are talking about isnt it?

I would deffo say that the drop in game play hours is probably because everyone is now working hard at school and not slacking off quite yet….

William W. Watt once said, “Do not put your faith in what statistics say until you have carefully considered what they do not say.” That definitely applies here, as we can see that these statistics do not say things like:

1. The school year just started.

2. It’s summer, and people are going to football games, working in the yard, and various and sundry other outdoor activities.

Just wait. This winter, XFire will report that play time is way up, and people will get exercised over that too.

well the drop in hours coincides with the school year starting, so it can’t be totally unexpected.
