I have not played a video game since Mario Brothers chased Pac-man on a Donkey Kong.

Now, game companies make the bulk of their profits from in-game purchases and microtransactions. These can include things like cosmetic upgrades, power-ups, and character unlocks. In addition, game companies also make significant money from ads and sponsorships. YouTubers and streamers, for example, are often sponsored by game companies to promote their games to their followers. So while the sale of a new game may still be important for a game company, it's the ongoing monetization of that game that is essential for their long-term success. Here I want to talk about https://casino358.com/kasinovinkkeja/kasino-ilman-kierratysta/ website that shares real reviews of the people who have really experienced casino games and received casino bonus into their accounts.

Sir - you are about a decade too late with this. Lootboxes, microtransactions, and digitally locked content have been a topic of discussion for over a decade, there is an actual ted talk series on how to monetize, manipulate, and groom potential consumers into making in game purchases. There has also been a push to regulate because the publishing companies refuse to regulate themselves. EA, Ubisoft, Activision, all use predatory monetization practices in their games. If you want to learn more about this, and trust me, if you have children, you WANT to know how these companies deliberately target the impressionable people, look into the lootbox hearings held in Britain parliament, and gambling in video games.

If you are interested in youtube journalism, YongYea has a complete handle on the scummy tactics of various video game publishers.

Downloadable Content (DLC) normally enhances a game but doesn't require you to get it to enjoy a game. Kind of like the fighter passes for Smash Brothers Ultimate.

But the idea of on-Disc Locked Content is disgusting. Especially after spending money on a product and come to find out you can't use all of the product because you didn't spend more money. It would be like buying a new motorcycle, but if you wanted to use the already built-in radio and do your own oil change, you need to spend money for the ability to hear local fm radio and to do your own maintenance.
