Microtransactions

Microtransactions are small, in-game purchases players can make to enhance their gaming experience. Often found in free-to-play games, these transactions can unlock cosmetic items, new levels, or other features. While they allow players to access games without upfront costs, they can lead to additional expenses if players choose to buy many items. This model has stirred debate over its impact on gaming, creating concerns about fairness and the potential for "pay-to-win" scenarios, where players who spend more money have advantages over others. Ultimately, microtransactions aim to generate revenue while keeping games accessible.
