…is regarding the “Did You Have Fun?” question.

I feel this question gets asked against decks that have cards which may have “negative play patterns”.

It’s too early to tell, and sometimes I really don’t know what the other person is playing yet, but I already have a suspicion that it is asked for decks with specific cards (and sure, maybe randomly as well).

Thoughts? Can you document and report when you get this question? Do you get this more often than not going against Cat-Oven? Do you never see this when the opponent is playing some weird jank?

Edit: Removed paragraph with a specific example because dopes do not understand what an “example” is and start arguing against it.

Hate to spoil some good conspiracy theorizing, but it’s a flat ~5% chance after every game (barring some modes like tutorial).

We will definitely look at things like whether we see differences in happy/sad rates by opponent deck color or in matches where specific cards were cast (usually: no), but we don’t ask based on criteria like that. Being able to use the results to answer questions like the above requires us having a good baseline to measure against, which means we need to ask it broadly to establish the baseline.

How do you differentiate fun from simply winning or losing? I imagine the correlation there is quite high

Oh yeah, super high. But we know if you won or not, and track those separately. So we’ll look at “Happy rate on loss”, etc.

Boo, well, I appreciate the response! Thank you.

OR, you have to say that to avoid affecting the results! (I’m kidding, thank you for engaging).

Oh no, they’re onto us!

I mean, we do use the data roughly the way you mentioned, we just don’t change question appearance rate. (We have enough matches that we have the day to answer most reasonable questions without doing that.)

How do these responses interact with gameplay? Is there a slider that self adjusts in-game so you play different player/deck type or difficulty? Or are the polls evaluated on your end and then changes made with a patch?

The latter one - Your answers (or skipping) won't have any direct impact on your play experience, but we use them to do things like understand how much different players like different types Mid-Week Magic events, etc.
