Which difficulty do players really play on after they change the setting?

The setting chosen at the start tells you little once people switch it along the way. This entry shows how to count the time spent on each setting, including players who go down and later up again.

Why this works

What players choose at the start is not what they live with. Counting the time spent on each setting shows the difficulty they really played, because many begin ambitiously and quietly settle on something easier.

When not to use it

Pointless if the game offers no choice of difficulty or locks it once chosen. Then judge by where players fail, and pay attention to whether the single level suits the whole audience.
