A visual representation of F2P mobile game economics

A multi-axis graphical framework provides a standardized method for visualizing and comparing the economic and technical performance of free-to-play (F2P) mobile games.

• A multi-axis graphical framework allows for the standardized comparison of F2P mobile games by plotting technical performance, monetization structures, and market success onto a single visual diagnostic.
• The framework evaluates games across four specific dimensions: technical efficiency (load times and install size), reciprocity (currency grants and discount ratios), commercial success (app store rankings), and IAP structure (price band variety).
• Technical efficiency metrics focus on barriers to user retention by measuring load times and the discrepancy between advertised and actual installation sizes.
