The only good monetization is NO monetization

Update: we are in 2024 and f2p is still mostly predatory

This video has aged so well I can't believe it has been 12 years since it was made! brIf only AAA studios would have listened, there probably wouldn't be massive layoffs in the gaming industry
Comment from : @TyLovePie

Wow this aged poorly

Comment from : @markzuckerberg2672

I feel like whoever is in charge of Warframe's microtransactions watched this video Epic Games seems to have a decent handle on it too
Comment from : @iamlordstarbuilder5595

Nowadays, just having micro transactions that only have cosmetics changes automatically puts the game above 90 of other games with micro transactions

b(COUGHS IN GUNDAM)/bbrbri(also coughs in BOTW2 but its only a little cough since my friends and i arent buying fucking 70$ games since even 60$ was hard to accept)/i
Comment from : @TravTravRA

Also, if your game has microtranactions, allow users to gift cosmetics or currency to other players (including anonymously)

Comment from : @West_Coast_Mainline

If you’re gonna do paid cosmetic items in a game Make it so that you know what you’re getting before you make your purchase and that what you’re purchasing isn’t ridiculously expensive because if you’re buying a digital good it shouldn’t be worth more than a physical good of the same type
Comment from : @tomcurl8034

This is the exact same problem with the mobile industry industry but the mobile industry is full of casuals so bicrotransactions can't be fixed due to all the right things you said were for hardcore players

Comment from : @n8n8n8

Nails a lot about how I feel abt microtransactions today, honestly Also one big thing you touched on, that comes up again and again, not just for $$$ but in general, is "player choice is good, actually" Yeah, some games are better off linear, but it's really amazing how much difference adding or removing a minor option can be

Comment from : @nekuneko6823

Game publishers are poisoning the entire water supply that everyone is drinking from to target whales with these monetizing schemes It's gone beyond just mobile F2P apps Many AAA console and PC games are following suite
Comment from : @AdmiralBison

Comment from : @עומרלוי-פ3ה

Best way to end microtransactions would simply be to stop minors in engaging in those games

Being able to get premium currency and good microtransactions are shown well in warframe They make a lot of money, but you can trade premium currency to other players and microtransactions dont get you anything you cant get normally
Comment from : @boriskalashnikov489

Oof, this hurts so much nowadays
Comment from : @boriskalashnikov489

This is soooo old (I only found it on 11-5-2020) and despite that, this is extremely important brn/b
Comment from : @demon_xd_

A good Micro-Transaction is a dead Micro-Transaction If you are unable to evaluate the real price of your game, just don't do it
