We do. We track exact user-statistics in a number of categories, including
total, customer (those who have bought things), non-customer, broken down
by total playing time (ie percentage under 5 hours, under 20 hours, under
50 hours, under 100 hours, under 200 hours, under 500 hours, and under
1000 hours), etc.
