I wrote this article 2 years ago; if you’re looking for Unity analytics today, you should also consider Playtomic (http://playtomic.com/). They’ve got an actual Unity client, and it’s generally more suited for games.

Without a human in the loop, you can get some rather unpleasant results, as Valve found out when they added Dynamic Weapon Pricing to Counter-Strike. Soren Johnson has a good write-up. Oh, and thanks for the tip about the new async API, Jozsef. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks like it should improve page load times.

Yeah, manually updating the software is one thing, but automatic updates are what I’m after. The software recieves anayltic data and is preprogrammed to respond and adjust itself according to that data…

I think the best practice if you make it manually.

Is there any way of get analytic data back into my game so I can make the game chaneg acordingly?. For example, if google traces that I have had 10000 people die in the last 10 minutes because they stepped on the landmine in level 1, then my game reads this and de-activates the landmine…(the game is obviously too hard at this stage.)
I imagine (apart from my terrible example) there could be some really great uses for this!

Cool update. I still have to try to implement this myself. Chaotic few weeks!

This is the new async calling formula: Application.ExternalCall("_gaq.push", "['_trackEvent', '" + myCategory + "', '" + myAction + "', '" " myOpt_label + "', " + myOpt_value + "]");
