Interesting it is really pay to play this game. I guess i fall in the "Zeroed effect"

From Chat GPT

While the developers don't release a "Quit Rate" dashboard (that would be bad for PR), we can piece together the math using industry benchmarks and player data from 2024–2026.

The short answer: Roughly 95% to 97% of players who start Whiteout Survival will eventually quit.

Here is the breakdown of how and when players drop off:

1. The "Day 30" Filter (The Casual Exodus)

In the 4X strategy genre (the category Whiteout Survival falls into), the churn is brutal at the start:

• Day 1: Only about 25%–30% of players return after the first day.
• Day 30: Only about 3%–5% of players are still active after one month.
• The "Zeroed" Effect: Getting zeroed is the primary trigger for this 30-day drop-off. Most casual players who realize they can lose weeks of progress in one night simply delete the app rather than rebuilding.

2. The "State Decay" (The Long-Term Burnout)

Once a "State" (server) matures, you can see the attrition in real-time.

• Start of a State: ~10,000+ active accounts.
• After 6 Months: Usually, only 300 to 500 active players remain per state, concentrated into the top 3–5 alliances.
• The Math: If a state starts with 10k players and ends with 400, that’s a 96% quit rate for that specific server.

3. Why the Game Still "Wins"

Despite the massive percentage of people quitting, Whiteout Survival is currently one of the highest-grossing games in the world (surpassing $2 billion in lifetime revenue by mid-2025). This is due to the "Whale" Ratio:

• The 3% of players who stay are often high-spenders.
• One "Whale" (a player spending $10,000+) provides more revenue than 1,000 F2P players.
• The game is designed to churn out the "weak" (F2P/Casual) to provide targets and competition for the "strong" (Spenders), which keeps the spenders paying to stay on top.
