Games’ Saving Grace – Reward Video Ads

Why is the gaming industry thriving? It is an often asked question and, rightfully so! The internet, as news media and game developers ascertain, is composed of 99.8% users who just wont pay for online services (ex, reading an article, playing a game or etc) … so why wont services charge users?

  1. People are used to the concept of free

The hardest thing about “change” is “change” itself (sounds familiar? -)… once you got used to “free” changing the attitude to “pay” is so hard and often, fails badly. So most online providers opt to giving away their service for free with hopes of making enough $$$ at some point.

  1. Microtransactions are quite a hustle.

So how is the game industry thriving while other are still struggling?
