Player creation events don't match first-time login events

Question from a developer:

I created an event for first-time login by a player, and what I'm seeing now that I'm live is that the count of that event doesn't match the count of player creation events. Why is that?

Player creation only occurs when a player account is created, and the player account is shared across all titles using your Publisher ID. What you'll want to compare your event count to is the player_added_title event, which is specifically an event that occurs the first time a player signs into any given title (so you may not need your custom event at all).
