Stardock 2014 Annual Customer Report

Published on June 4, 2014 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

One of the ways we like to thank our customers here at Stardock is through our annual reports, compiled and authored by Stardock President and CEO Brad Wardell.

This year’s report, as always, combines a look at Stardock’s recent past and its future plans, analysis of the software and gaming industries, and statistics and observations from a survey of thousands of our customers.

Some of the tidbits from this year’s report:

Stardock is interested in game consoles for the first time in its history, thanks to the power and ease of development on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

We can’t wait to start 3D printing Galactic Civilizations III starships, and seeing what players’ creations look like in real life

iOS and Android development “more closely resemble a lottery system” than a viable market

Object Desktop Infinite is coming, allowing customers to access the full suite of Stardock’s desktop enhancements for just $3.99 per month

Almost twice as many Stardock customers own Android devices compared to iOS machines

Stardock customers are evenly split on Windows 8 – 39% have a positive opinion, while 39% have a negative perception

The iOS market is Anemic. The android market doesn't exist.

we did a lot of research and interviews with developers, some of which make apps that are well known and the sales are abysmal. It's a fine add on market but you wouldn't want a company spending time targeting it.

If it was known that mobile sales were abysmal prior to the development of Dead Man's Draw, then the only reason I can think of why SD would bother to make a mobile game, would be as a means to introduce the company to a whole new set of potential customers, who then might consider purchasing SD's other products.. Otherwise it would be a waste of resources.
