Re: Party numbers down
Party's quarterly reports state that one of the main aims at the moment is to decrease their reliance on the US market. They also state that player turnover is amazingly high - 80% per six months or something (I'm quoting that out of thin air, but I think it's right).
Therefore, if we assume that their marketing budget is a fixed amount, which is now diverted to Europe instead of the US, it's clear that their player distribution will change accordingly. Furthermore, this'll also change their peak hours somewhat, to be more in accordance with European players. The WCOOP is also running on Stars at the moment, and it's likely that that takes a few player hours away from Party. As is rightly stated in this thread, you cannot really judge what's going on without looking at last year and looking at the growth rate since then (e.g, if Party is 40% bigger than last year but their numbers are 41% higher than this time last year, that means more). Here's my best plan at the moment, where I compare Stars peak numbers to Party's. These are for ring games, so probably ignore the WCOOP impact to a large degree. I haven't bothered smoothing it as we're only talking about the last couple of days, and smoothing will cut that out.
