What if Game Dev Tycoon was real

Hey everyone!

Looking at the sales figures of my first MMO which has been running for 64 inGame years now, I came to wonder.

“What if this number was real?”

(Wow, nice image-restriction! Can’t even link to an image on my webserver. Well done.)

  • Currently there are approx. 7.000.000.000 (7E+9) humans on earth.
  • The planet we call “earth” is the only planet in our solar system that is habitable.
  • There are approx. 100 solar systems in our galaxy. Let’s assume, they all have one inhabitable planet, just as we do.
  • In the known universe today there are approx. 1.000.000.000.000 (1E+12) Galaxies

If I did my math right, this sould lead to the following:
With the above units sold (approx. 2.1E+24) I’d have 2E+12 (2E+24 / 1E+12) copies per Galaxy.
Taking the solar system problem into account, the number of copies per solar system is 2E+10.
If all of these planets are as populated as our’s this means every possible habitat of our universe has 3 copies of Derpwood ONLINE.

Either that or I might have a HUGE buffbot problem.

Thanks for an awesome game :smile:

This is just for new users to prevent image-spam. Once you use the forum a bit you can post images without an issue.

Hey Patrick!
I think you may have misunderstood me. I can understand, that you don’t want any image-spam.
What distracted me was that even if I want to post a link to my picture, the forum automatically transforms this link into an image instead of just leaving the link there as it was.

I may be off-topic, but I hope this helps.

Combine in a sentence

Or simply in a bullet?

Anything?

@baeda82 so you mean that you posted a link to an image, then the forum transformed it into an image and thus didn’t allow you posting it?
