Video Game Monetization

Video game monetization refers to the methods game developers use to generate revenue from their games. Common strategies include selling the game outright (premium purchase), offering free-to-play access with optional in-game purchases (such as skins, characters, or currency), and implementing subscription models. Some games also incorporate advertisements or limited-time offers. The goal is to balance providing engaging content while encouraging players to spend money to enhance their experience or access additional features, thereby sustaining the game's ongoing development and operations.
