This is a fun study but I really have to question the legitimacy of the experiment. They said the second run was always the 'placebo', this should have been evenly distributed first and second runs.
Don't Starve is a really great game focused on discovery and knowledge and going into your first run knowing completely nothing is going to be fun but you are going to spend your day checking everything out and learning how to survive 1 day. You are so excited to play the second run, you think to yourself "now I know what I want to do on my first day", you are almost guaranteed to live longer and discover more of the game. I would love to see a follow up of this where there is no 'placebo' and people are given the same experiment and asked which one was more fun, I think almost 100% would say the second.
