Democracy 4
1
  1. Understand why these players felt bored. Are the players strategy players or just trying it out for the first time (or other reasons)?

  1. Why do these players feel that this game is overpriced? Can Cliff talk about how the money is spent and it might give players a better idea about the $27 price tag?

  1. Issues with policy-removal bug, electioneering and popularity

  2. Game doesn’t currently feel like a political simulator, instead it feels like a balance sheet simulator with a political flavour (Why so? Should there be a warning or something else to dissuade hardcore strategy players?)

  1. No sense of managing a country, and merely putting policies into place.

  1. Cluttered UI

  2. Problem with voter perception, even though all policies were taken for their benefit.

  1. No Foreign Relations/Domestic Voter Impact (or insufficient) For Foreign Intervention:
  1. Not clear what this player meant, if you don’t play as a liberal person, you play as a religious person. But it might help to understand this through further questioning and their problem with repetition.
  1. Might help to explain to this player that more freedom of speech doesn’t reduce conservatives but their opinion, might also help to explain why this happens.
  1. Why does this player consider the game to be a half-assed mess?
