Backend game engine Pragma levels up player engagement tracking with FirstLook acquisition

Pragma, a backend game engine built by devs who worked on multiple large games like Destiny 2, has announced an acquisition of FirstLook, an all-in-one playtester feature suite that drives and tracks player engagement data in the crucial testing phase.

FirstLook’s community management won’t be directly integrated into Pragma’s backend, but both tools and resources (while operating independently of each other) are accessible to devs. Developers can, as an example, track Steam keys and their uses without the need of third-party tools. According to Pragma, this includes developers at People Can Fly, Square Enix, and more.
