Someone high up in the Atlus/Sega/Sammy hierachy thinks computer gaming is mostly hentai so make of that what you will.

How does SteamSpy report uncertainty?
http://steamspy.com/app/441830
Owners: 49,933 ± 6,249
Okay.
http://steamspy.com/api.php?request=appdetails&appid=441830
Okay, but you don't construct a confidence interval by adding/subtracting variance. I /assume/ that the value reported is equal to half the magnitude of the confidence interval (i.e. the value you add to the sample mean to get the tail of the confidence interval) rather than the variance.
But since we don't have the level of confidence the number is reported for, we can't back out the standard error, and thus can't get a confidence interval at an arbitrary confidence.

I'm surprised you find it excellent. I would imagine you do not consider it to be as excellent as Obduction.
Personally, I find this Steam review very close to my experience:

On an unrelated note, there might be some ModBot troubles right now. I can't exactly figure out what the problem is, but I will try to get it fixed. In the mean time, sorry! Thankfully this week's Humble was console games so it's less pressing to fix.
I have a GTX 770 and play at 1660x900 with max settings and get >60fps with no hitches or micro-stutters or anything. I get about 45 fps at 1080p and didn't bother to tweak settings before dropping the resolution. Note that I have an SSD and I don't think anyone should play games without them at this point. I certainly do not find the puzzle content mediocre -- it doesn't live up to any of the Cyan Worlds games but this has more to do with worldbuilding and story elements than the quality of puzzles.

the most hilarious thing about that whole Persona stream thing is that I dont think anyone can argue that P4's big sucess (surely bigger than 3) was in no small part to the Giantbomb Endurance Run, which of course, streamed the whole game

As unfortunate Nintendo's Youtube policies are, at least they're not threatening to shutdown channel accounts like Atlus is stating.

Alright, I will give it another try in 900p (maybe even 720p). Downloading the 2.2 GB again. This is my 10th installed game.

I have it from a good source that a Nekopara vs. Sakura fighting game is in the works. The working title is too shameful to mention.
You can trust me, I am an insider.

StarCrawlers had one of the most communicative, active early access periods I've ever seen in a game. No interest personally, but mad props to the developers.

ModBot troubles fixed. Was related to the thread merge.
I think I remember /r/drpg talking about this once. Looks cool.
I wonder if it's coming from Atlus or Sega. Either way it's amazing how little they understand about the Internet. Doesn't detract from the game itself but just seems dumb.
Atlus. Sega understands that the PC market has value.

Seeing as Sega gave us Valkyria Chronicles among other things, it's a safe bet to say Atlus.
SEGA Europe does. I'm pretty sure SEGA Japan is also an obstacle at this subject.

Then who knows what the hell Sega America even does.
Sonic!
Post about Sonic on Twitter.
This is likely Atlus Japan. Their communication with Atlus USA is famously awful, and this stuff would fly a lot more in Japan than it would here.
Sega Japan are also stupid, but seem to occasionally talk to Sega Europe/USA enough for them to understand that this is an awful idea. Yakuza 0 also had Streams blocked but only in the JP version, for example.

Memes, Sonic Twitter account, and lurking on GAF.
So that cdkeys deal for Lego City Undercover was too good to pass up earlier, and activating the key put me at 2000 games finally:
I've always been somewhat discriminatory in my bundle buying and even more so in the last year, so I'm still pretty confident that if I had the time I'd like to play at least half of the games I own, if not more. Doubt I'll ever hit 3000 but it's hard to say, maybe someday.

Bless Devolver Digital. They really do get it, those lovable lugs.
Devolver really is one of the best around
Atlus USA and SEGA America are in the same building, so they pretty much merged I guess?
Their releases are still treated separately PR wise though, for example, SEGA America's twitter promotes SEGA JP consoles games in North America, such as Miku, Yakuza, Valkyria Revolution, while Atlus USA twitter is promoting Persona 5, KOF XIV, Utawarerumono.
(And then there's Sonic).

why does Atlus have a streaming guideline anyway

Many Japanese companies in particular are quite out of touch with the streaming/let's play scene. I think they view it like video rules on previews before a game release.
There's a few companies exempt from this. I actually think for example Capcom is one of the Japanese companies with best grasp of the whole scene, they will remove videos/streams of their games before the release date (which makes sense to me, fair enough), but after release they allow videos of their games full-stop. They respond quickly to release false claims, and I think allowing it benefits their game (for example, all the exposure Resident Evil 7 got on release I think ended up helping it, literally at RE7's release you could hardly find a YouTuber who wasn't playing RE7, and the game has done quite well which I think was benefited from this and the positive word of mouth, plus most people who played it on streams/videos enjoyed the game).
Yes, I'm saying more Japanese companies should be like Capcom on this particular topic.
Eyeballing this too! Wondering the same.

to be fair to Capcom though, they have an established american scene, and they have a massive stock in fighting games so they know about the positives in video sharing
Though Atlus should have known, what with ArkSysWorks being under them
yeah, I put it in my wishlist for future reference

Yup, that definitely plays a role. Capcom simply has more experience and insight into the Western 'gaming video' scene, their fighting games playing a big role in that, but I do hope some more companies east side can pick up on the scene, how it benefits them, and why it may not be a good idea to get too restrictive on it. It's their call to make on their property and all, but I honestly just think a lot of Japanese studios especially haven't wrapped their head around the scene quite yet.

Just because ArcSysWorks has an American division and are in the fighting game scene, they still can act just as ass backwards like their partner, Atlus. From the Atlus streaming thread, Ravidrath of Lab Zero Games, developer of Skullgirls, had this to say:
