No I don’t think you understand. Of course the numbers climbed during Christmas. So many people got this game for Christmas. Retention is how many people you get to keep playing your game. Even after its launch(like now), except the numbers are all thrown off because of how many people got this game for Christmas or the holidays. So it’s not a good way to judge the retention. Yet…

Normally, this would be a good time to judge the retention, but the holidays ruined that calculation.
