Bottom line
Winter Sports Mania has a winning content strategy and a powerful moat via the IBU license, but it is currently bleeding users due to critical technical debt. If I were the PM, I would halt all new feature development to fix the UI scaling and Biathlon crash bugs, as the core 'fun' concept is being completely obscured by a broken user experience.
