The need

Even though the game was played by millions of people in 85 countries, most of the game's global monthly revenue was generated by two markets: the U.S. and Canada. The company wanted to appropriately price their in-app purchases to encourage spending, but to do so they lacked an understanding of global economics and how local purchasing power impacts users' willingness to buy.
