Tenjin and GameAnalytics launch Growth FullStack
Tenjin, the leading mobile marketing measurement platform for indie and mid-sized mobile game publishers, and GameAnalytics, the player analysis platform of choice for mobile game developers, have launched Growth FullStack, the first in a new series of developer tools and training resources offering affordable access to data and analyses.
Launched to coincide with the release of iOS15, Growth FullStack empowers mobile developers to navigate a privacy-centric marketing landscape which requires a unified approach to managing significant amounts of disparate datasets. Unable to use Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and with low numbers of mobile users opting to share their user-level data with apps, marketers have been left with scattered datasets which haven’t been utilized effectively for performance marketing. Similar changes are imminent on Android, impacting the entire app developer ecosystem.
Large app publishers have already figured out that consolidated , better-analyzed data is the solution. However, the huge data science and R&D teams large publishers operate are unattainable for 99% of mobile publishers. The vast majority are caught in a transition period where familiar, Mobile Measurement Partner-centric deterministic attribution is not working anymore and Apple-centric attribution such as iOS15’s SKAdNetwork isn’t widely understood.
Growth FullStack enables mobile publishers to collect the data that they need, store it in the way they want, and optimize their campaigns activity using off-the-shelf or custom analyses. Enabled by a no-code ‘plug and play’ model, mobile marketers no longer need to depend on in-house data engineering to unify and understand complex data sets.
Announcing Growth FullStack, Tenjin CEO and Co-Founder, Christopher Farm said:
“We’re excited to partner with GameAnalytics to offer Growth FullStack. The inspiration was our joint understanding that mobile marketers have their own siloed data sources, databases and analyses – sometimes multiple of each – but no way to draw them together post-IDFA. Paired with iOS14 and 15 redacting some of the important dimensions (for example country data sets) finding ways to build a network of data within Growth FullStack provides the tools and training for mobile publishers to achieve the similar insights like big publishers are used to, enabling them to focus on building their apps and games. GameAnalytics and Tenjin both have very popular free platforms and share a commitment to educating our clients, so we’re delighted to be working together to help great apps grow in the new privacy-first world.”
Morten E. Wulff, Chairman and Founder at GameAnalytics, added:
“We’re thrilled to be announcing our new partnership with Tenjin, which is perfectly aligned to help us deliver best-in-class developer tools. Conversations with our mutual mobile game clients showed that they want us to offer services across their full stack of data tools, and Growth FullStack is the first in a suite of collaborative products that will supercharge the switch to Apple & Android-centric attribution. Mobile performance marketing architecture has been thrown into disarray during 2021 for publishers worldwide, but with Growth FullStack any mobile publisher can run new analyses of previously diffuse datasets with no in-house expertise.”
Growth FullStack has been operating in early access and trialled by publishers including Lucky Kat Studios.
Hernan Zhou, Co-Founder and CTO at Lucky Kat Studios, commented:
“Indie game developers need help to make sense of the post-IDFA world of mobile marketing. Old tools aren’t able to support user acquisition as they did before iOS14 and the data sources we have access to require far more analysis to generate insights. For example, one of our main user acquisition channels now has two APIs for the same data: Apple’s data and their own data. How do we figure out which is best to help us grow? Ultimately we want to focus our energy on making games, and Growth FullStack will be vital in enabling that.”

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
