Nice to have some insight into how the #ArcRaiders player base skews:

“Many players do still shoot on sight, but they form a minority. Embark told the Guardian that about 30% of players are mostly interested in the cooperative aspects of the game; another 30% focus on the player-versus-player action; and the remaining 40% enjoy a mix of both.”

'So it has come as a jolt to the game’s developers at Embark Studios in Sweden that many players are not shooting at each other at all. “It caught us a little bit by surprise,” says executive producer Aleksander Grøndal, who has found that many people play “a more peaceful version of the game than we anticipated”. He is quick to add: “Pleasantly surprised, just to be clear.”

Unintentionally, the game has become a sort of social and psychological experiment, raising questions about game design – and the human condition – that have intrigued social scientists, psychologists and criminologists. Roughly one in five players have never knocked out another raider, and half have knocked out fewer than 10.'
