Monetization Madness - How Games Make Money - Extra Credits
Sign up to Morning Brew for free today https://bit.ly/mbextracredits2
While we've had episodes on Free to Play games, and on some of the paid elements like lootboxes, we've never really made an episode on monetization models in video games. And that's big because like it or not, how you choose to make money off your video game can have huge effects on how you go about designing your game. So let's pry open the game and take a look at premium games, downloadable content, season passes, and yes, even loot boxes.
