Half-Life 2: Episode One Stats

[Jun 23, 2006, 09:44 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A page of Half-Life 2: Episode One Stats on the Steam Website (thanks Voodoo Extreme) has the results from a "reporting mechanism" within the game. They offer some results and charts that demonstrate the possibility that there is a bug in their reporting, or a surprising number of players are failing to complete the shooter episode. Game reporting mechanisms: Helpful? Probably. Creepy? I'd say.

Does anyone really give a rip if the game reports back when someone finishes the game? They already have your fucking user information from Steam, so what difference does this trivial sliver of data make?

MMO games are collecting metrics like this ALL THE TIME.

Tinfoil hats to all....

He cut the possum's face off then cut around the eye socket. In the center of the belt buckle, where the possum's eye would be, he has placed a small piece of wood from his old '52 Ford's home made railroad tie bumper. Damn, he misses that truck.
