How To Use Data to Build and Grow Hit Games: Part 2
The primary objective is to provide a framework for using data-driven decision-making to build, launch, and scale successful mobile games.
- A game is likely to achieve top-ranking status and organic growth if it outperforms competitors in key metrics, specifically by maintaining higher retention, higher LTV, and lower CPI than similar titles in its sub-category.
- Small changes in game economy can have catastrophic, unintended consequences, such as the case where a minor gold-bonus adjustment in 'King of Thieves' triggered uncontrollable inflation, ruined monetization, and decreased retention.
- A single A/B test on a game icon can have a compounding effect on growth; in one instance, a new icon increased page conversion by 80% but resulted in a 200% increase in total downloads due to improved click-through rates in app store recommendation algorithms.
