With the topic on mobile gaming for the presentation an area that interests me is micro transactions. As nowadays we always see micro transactions in games from loot boxes, customization, dlc and etc. But I feel like that its more common in mobile games than other platforms. So I am looking into how it can affect a game/ its audience and the purpose of them in games. Which brings me to the presentations question in what can change in the gaming industry. So it makes me wonder what could happen with micro transactions in the future.
So first of all what are micro transactions?
Micro transactions are small purchases players can make to unlock further game play, gain extra lives, change a character’s appearance, or speed up the gaming process in simulation games. Which I myself have looked into micro transactions and even paid for some in game items.
