Gamesurvey.org – academic research on hobby gaming community

Without looking at the list again, I can't be more specific, but the list is EXTREMELY board and computer focused... for example, RPGs have almost no 4X games, but do have romances, and 2X and 3X games (which 2 of the 4 X's vary; D&D tends to be explore and exterminate.)

We actually stripped out a LOT of the digital/computer-focused items from '06. But it's trying to cover the entire swath of hobby gaming all at once, and isn't going to be overly-focused on any one specific type of game. It's funny, b/c the card guys don't think its granular enough for them. The wargamers don't think it's granular enough for them ("why aren't block games their own separate option?")
No way we can dive that deep for everyone

Why is the survey so broad then? You have a facile response for every problem we point out. That is not how you learn to do better.
