Selling a game once is great but it means there is a set amount of money that can be made from a set market of games. Exceptions do exist, somehow I have managed to buy Skyrim for the PS3, PS4 and PC, but I don’t like to talk about it. The problem here is that some people are only willing to spend $20 a month on video games where other people are happy to spend thousands. The only way to truly maximise profits is to get every possible gamer to pay the maximum possible amount that they are individually willing to pay for a game. #HowMoneyWorks #MicroTransactions #Monetization ___________________________________________________________________________ Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound Stock footage by Storyblocks Follow to learn How Money Works.
