Etymology

Modern compound of 'gamer' (one who plays games) and 'metrics' (from Greek 'metron' meaning measure). Coined in the 21st century as the gaming industry began applying sophisticated data analysis to understand player behavior.

Kelly Says

Gamermetrics represents the gamification of human behavior measurement - game companies now track millions of micro-interactions to understand everything from player engagement to spending patterns. This data has become so sophisticated that gaming analytics often lead other industries in understanding human psychology and motivation.
