How do you practice game analytics without having a game of your own with real players?

trying to move into game data analyst roles. I’ve had two interviews recently — one rejected at the case study, the other at the interview itself — and the common thread was that I clearly hadn’t spent enough time with real player data. Problem is I keep running into the same wall: there’s nothing to practice on. The public datasets are either synthetic, tiny, or from 2016, and none of them look like what Firebase or GameAnalytics actually spits out. Would appreciate any pointers, thanks submitted by /u/twicthratchat [link] [comments]
