Do players come back after running out of lives, or is the wait where they quit?

A waiting timer after the last life is a hard moment in a casual game. To judge it you must count who returned, but also be careful about people whose follow-up time has not run out yet. This entry shows the group you may and may not count.

Why this works

Someone who stopped playing an hour ago has not yet had the chance to come back, so counting them as lost makes the newest data look worst. Only people watched for the whole window can fairly be judged, and a comparison group shows what any exit looks like.

When not to use it

It cannot tell you why people stay away, and it is useless on a brand-new game with only days of data, where hardly anyone has been watched long enough. Ask returning and non-returning players directly, or test a shorter wait on a small group.
