Progressive player populations
summary
Launch performance centers on a clear, testable claim: the golden cohort = first week and subsequent weeks perform worse — about 19% lower day-two retention in week two, ~8% less engagement and ~30% lower first-week conversion — so prioritize fixes fast if your deltas exceed those medians. Track normalized new-buyer-per-install and PAU/DAU (paying active users over DAU) to spot whether churn hits payers or non‑payers, and investigate product tweaks that can convert long‑tenured non‑payers.
