MOST GAME DECISIONS CAN'T BE UNDONE.
WE HELP TEAMS MAKE THEM WITH EVIDENCE, NOT HOPE.
Studios are expected to de-risk projects earlier than ever – without the tools to understand who they're building for, why players respond the way they do, or which decisions actually matter.
GameDataCore is the decision intelligence layer for the games industry. We connect player behaviour, emotion, community signals, market context, and studio intent into explainable, causal evidence – so creative and commercial decisions are made with confidence, not guesswork.
GameDataCore is Decision Insurance — we combine player psychology, behavioural modelling, and market data to make uncertainty measurable and decisions defensible.
Teams typically start by analysing a single title — their own or a close comparator — to establish where confidence is strong, where risk is emerging, and which decisions actually matter next.
Games can get love — but love alone doesn't predict commercial outcomes. GameDataCore links behaviour, sentiment, emotion and expectation to explain why trajectories diverge.
Retention decay looks like noise until you understand its causes.We isolate where engagement drops, which segments left, and what actions might change that trajectory.
Not all community reactions are equal.We map discussion, sentiment, emotional and motivational velocity and behavioural impact across segments to distinguish noise from material risk.
Not all investments yield equal confidence gains.We compare counterfactual scenarios across features, segments, and benchmarks to show where evidence says it matters.
One evidence engine. Multiple decisions. Increasing confidence over time. Built & designed for every member of your team.
GameDataCore runs a single, shared evidence pipeline that connects player behaviour, psychology, community signals, market context and internal data into explainable causal chains. Every Core is just a different entry point into the same underlying system.
Used by developers, publishers, and investors when decisions are expensive, irreversible, or financially risky — not for reporting or vanity metrics. If the question matters, it runs through the same evidence engine.
Analyse your own titles, competitor games, or any released game with sufficient public and community data. Comparative context is not optional — it's foundational.
GameDataCore does not tell teams what to do. It shows: What evidence exists, How strong it is, Where uncertainty remains, And how confidence changes under different choices. Creative judgment stays in the loop.
As more studios use the platform, behavioural baselines sharpen, archetypes stabilise, and causal models improve. Your analysis benefits from: More data, More calibration, More decisions tested against reality. This is shared intelligence, not isolated analytics.
No black-box scoring No dashboard-only BI No single-source dependency No usage inflation Only explainable evidence that improves with use.
Every signal is interpreted through calibrated psychological, behavioural, and comparative baselines — not raw metrics or black-box scores. Analyse your own games, competitor titles, or any released game with sufficient public and community data.
Uncover why players engage, disengage, or churn — not just what they do.Translate behaviour into motivation, expectation, and decision-relevant evidence that creative and production teams can act on
Track more than just sentiment, backlash, and expectation shifts across platforms — with context. Separate vocal minorities from material risk and understand who is reacting, why, and what it affects.
Combine feedback, behavioural signals, and commercial outcomes into a single evidence layer. Move beyond disconnected metrics to understand causal impact across the player journey.
Give design, production, marketing, ops and leadership a shared evidence base. Align creative intent, delivery constraints, and market reality — before decisions become irreversible.
Not dashboards. Not sentiment scores. Decision confidence.
Creativity decides. Evidence informs.
This is a new decision layer for how games are built, evaluated, and funded.
Studios need a nervous system that connects player feedback, behaviour, emotions, studio decisions, and market context into one unified causal model.
GameDataCore is that nervous system.
From first concept to final patch.
Concept
Is there audience-fit for this idea? Analyse similar games, unmet player needs, genre whitespace.
Validation
Are we building the right thing? Track early community reaction, wishlist signals, competitor analysis.
Production
What should we prioritise? Compare player expectations vs. creative vision vs. resource constraints.
Launch
Is our positioning working? Real-time sentiment tracking, competitive context, retention prediction.
Live ops
What needs fixing first? Causal chains from emotions → behaviour → revenue. All signals unified in one model.
GameDataCore wasn't created by analysts or consultants. It was built by game developers who've shipped games, pitched publishers, raised funding, missed targets, and watched promising projects stall — after real commitments were already made.We built the platform we wish we'd had when the cost of being wrong was measured in years, not metrics.
After decades of building and shipping games across AAA, AA, indie and mobile, we saw the same pattern repeat. Strong creative vision, positive early signals, supportive feedback — followed by hesitation, funding friction, or underperformance once real commitments were made.Not because the games were bad — but because there was no shared, defensible evidence to support high-stakes decisions early enough. GameDataCore exists to close that gap.
The market doesn't need more dashboards. It needs fewer bad decisions.
“Working with GameDataCore helped us look beyond surface-level performance and understand what was really driving player response over time. The analysis didn't just confirm that players were broadly positive — it highlighted where expectations, comprehension, and confidence were starting to drift in ways that aren't obvious from sentiment or sales alone. That gave us a clearer, defensible basis for deciding where to invest, what to prioritise, and how to communicate those choices with confidence both internally and externally.”
Director of Ops, Wales Interactive
“GameDataCore helped us more clearly understand our audience and to talk about our work with more clarity and conviction. The analysis didn't just confirm that players loved the game and why, but showed who they were, their thoughtful and discerning nature, and why their praise carries so much weight. That insight helped us move away from positioning the game as 'family-friendly' and instead stand confidently behind it as a prestigious narrative indie. GameDataCore provided the evidence and support to help us reposition the game, refine our messaging, and clearly articulate the strength of our track record as a studio, which has put us in a stronger position for our new project.”

Once teams try Decision Intelligence, it's hard to make decisions without it.
Join teams who've made the shift.
Join waitlistAll Cores are powered by a shared evidence engine that materialises structured feedback, profile and behavioural signals. Each Core unlocks a higher level of decision confidence — from operational fixes to capital allocation.
Understand what players are telling you — and what they're actually reacting to. Transforms reviews, community discussion, and qualitative feedback into structured, explainable evidence — separating signal from noise and revealing where sentiment materially affects player behaviour and outcomes.
Foundational Signal & Decision Engine
What it unlocks: Operational and live decision confidence.
Core capabilities
You understand
Typical decisions
See who your audience really is — across games, genres, and time. Maps players to motivational and behavioural archetypes using cross-game history, psychological signals, and engagement patterns — enabling teams to reason about who they are building for, not just how many.
Cross-Game Audience & Identity Intelligence
What it unlocks: Audience clarity beyond a single title.
Core capabilities
You understand
Typical decisions
Understand how communities form, influence outcomes, and convert attention into impact. Analyses community structure, sentiment flow, participation dynamics, and creator-led engagement across platforms — identifying when discourse reflects genuine audience risk, where influence is concentrated, and which creators demonstrate measurable alignment with a game's audience and performance outcomes.
Ecosystem & Influence Intelligence
What it unlocks: Understanding discourse power and influence flow.
Core capabilities

Teams can engage with the platform today through live Cores, with additional decision surfaces rolling out as part of the same underlying system. Early access customers help shape Core depth and calibration as the engine expands.
GameDataCore is designed to be accessible to small teams, while scaling naturally as projects grow in complexity, audience size, and commercial impact.
As your community grows, your sales increase, or your team expands, the amount of data required to produce accurate, defensible outputs increases as well. Processing more evidence is not an arbitrary cost — it is what allows decisions to remain grounded as stakes rise.
We don't charge teams for ambition. We charge for the evidence required to support it.
As decisions lead to success, GameDataCore scales alongside you — supporting larger audiences, higher expectations, and more complex trade-offs without forcing teams into a different class of tooling.
Each Core has a different price per seat.
CoreFeedback turns player feedback into structured decision intelligence. It ingests reviews and community discussions, materialising hundreds of structured feedback and profile signals — revealing not just what is being said, but who is saying it and why. Understand how player segments are shifting over time, identify the tensions that matter, and know what needs to change to attract, engage and retain them. Act with evidence. Learn continuously. Improve with confidence.
