What should the name of this set be?
by The Sims 3
In a Facebook poll of 4,127 respondents, 34.1% chose “Futureshock”. How we count
Futureshock opened at 31% support and climbed to 35% by day five — then simply stopped moving. For roughly a hundred of the poll's 103 days it sat frozen at 34%. It finished with 1,409 votes, more than double runner-up Electronique Eloquence's 648, while seven other names split what was left and none topped 16%.
The lead was as wide as it was early: the three biggest countries — the US (172 votes), UK (35) and Canada (16) — all favored Futureshock, while smaller pockets scattered to other names entirely: Australia went Luminance, the Netherlands Amplified, Portugal The Grid Factor. Futureshock alone outvoted the bottom four options — Infinity Interiors, Amplified, Grid-tronique and The Grid Factor — combined.
