Mynon inexplicably dropped the ball this week, and failed to inform us that one new steam review for T:ToN has appeared (it was negative, giving the game a "recent" aggregate score of 86%). The best interpretation of this datapoint is that Rides of NumaHomaMoma will be recognized as a cult classic cRPG in 2037. Assuming, of course, that InXile patches it up a few times... or Beamdog...

I don't consider linguistic a social science.

I could find examples from any other social science; it's just that linguistics is what I know best.

Does it matter? The devs already made their money with it. Why should they care about player retention?
Since my attention was returned to this post by a recent rating alert, I thought I'd share something. There's a coda to this short but sad story.
When the parcel carrier attempted to deliver my T:ToN rewards, I wasn't home, so they left a receipt on my door informing me that I could pick it up at their offices.
I never went.

You could've made some money by picking it up and selling it on eBay, dude.

I recycled mine upon arrival. Regardless of the game quality, that was the worse boxed set I've ever seen. Content fit for a DVD case, box that doesn't fit with any game collection. Ugly too.

Do you people not know what a "reminder box" is?

Which means the box has returned to inXile and they can give it to someone else as replacement. You didn't do them any disservice.
The only loser here is you.
But I guess that's what you meant by sad story.

Hey guise, watch how I took epic revenge on Fargo by...gifting him back $1000 worth of collector items he can now resell to somebody else. That will show him.
You guys have some awfully peculiar ideas about how I feel or why I didn't pick up the package.
Yes, I know could have sold it on eBay. I don't need the money and I don't care.
Yes, I'm sure the package was returned to inXile. No doubt it was just a tiny logistics detail. In no way did I think that I was mounting some sort of protest or depriving them of materiel.
The point is that I was at one time excited enough to pledge a nice sum of money, but that by the end, when the dust cleared, I didn't even care enough to pick up the package. In fact, the only reason I'm even spending these couple of minutes posting is because I know a few people will find it slightly amusing and blow a bit of air out of their nostrils.
That's all, really. As for "getting back at" inXile, the game, or whatever it is some of you are imagining, there's really nothing I need to do because it already failed hard on its own.
Or to put it another way:

Well, I am actually curious if you could've unloaded it on ebay. I'm still trying to get rid of my W2 CE for some months now.
Have not tried to sell this one yet since at least for now I don't consider it quite as bad to need to remove it from my house.

Then you could've sold it and donated the money to charity.

The guy did say at some point that he's a millionaire or something, and this is how you know how hard he worked for those money.
What about non-coding RNA genes? Long non-coding RNA, microRNA?

InXile has abandoned their still-birth - future patches very unlikely.
