Strictly speaking, that’s true. The Pseudo-Random Number Generators that are commonly used aren’t genuinely random. Good ones, though, will pass all the standard tests for ramdomness. Moreover, since there are tens of thousands of players drawing from the PRNG in sequence and genuinely randomly, even a mediocre PRNG is going to produce results that are effectively random for any given player.
To suppose that SGG has spent the programming resources to craft a devious algorithm to subtly distort the RNG results simply defies any business sense. Why would a company spend extra time/money to make customers unhappy?
This thread just keeps looping back on itself.
- New player observes some bad boards, draws sweeping inference
- Said player writes a post here, usually presenting three or four screenshots as “proof”
- Old hands point out that the statistical evidence contradicts the “fix is on” hypothesis
- Said player denies relevance of proof. “My situation is different”
- Old hands point out basics of psychology, confirmation bias, selective recall
