Pootroo Field Guide: Mobile Game Economics
Understanding the economics of mobile gaming requires a shift from traditional software metrics. It is not merely about downloads; it is about the delicate balance between acquisition, retention, and monetization. Over our 15-year history, we have observed that successful titles master the "Golden Triangle" of metrics: Day 1 Retention, 7-day LTV, and Paying User Percentage.
Decision Criteria
- Session Length Variability: Does the game adapt to both short bursts (commute) and long sessions (home)? High variability suggests strong core loop appeal.
- Economy Velocity: How fast does currency circulate? Deflation kills games; inflation prevents monetization pressure. We aim for a 2-week velocity cycle.
- Organic Virality: Does the game design encourage sharing? Forced invites fail. Natural sharing through competitive achievements or visual flexing works.
Myth vs. Fact
Myth: "Ads ruin the user experience."
Fact: Rewarded ads, when integrated as a voluntary choice for premium currency, can increase session length by 25% and retention by 15%. The key is user agency.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Monetizing too early: Gatekeeping basic features behind paywalls kills initial retention.
- Ignoring the "whale" curve: Top 1% of players generate 50% of revenue; design distinct content tracks for them.
- Static pricing: Regional purchasing power parity (PPP) adjustments are mandatory for global launches.
