• {{Design Questions}}: Specific questions you want the analysis to answer.

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided data to identify trends and patterns related to the specified economic focus.
3. Segment players based on economic indicators (e.g., spending, engagement) and highlight differences.
4. Provide insights that directly answer the design questions, linking findings to potential design changes.
5. Suggest metrics to track for future analysis and recommend tools for visualization.

• Focus on economic analysis, not general game design.
• Flag any potential biases in the data or analysis.
