- 20. 3. Business Models Max Da Vi
- 21. Four Typical Business Models Premium is defined as charging $.99 or more for a game or an app. Premium was the predominant model early days of gaming and is still very popular for PC and consoles. Freemium is the practice of giving your game or app away for free and making money via in-app purchases (IAP). Ad supported apps are supported by advertising, and typically include banner advertising or other types of in-app advertising. Hybrid, any of the models described above in various combinations. The two most common hybrids are: - Freemium with ad-supported. - Premium with in-app purchases (IAP).
- 22. Games as a Service Games as a Service (GaaS) are ways to monetize video games either after their initial sale, or to support a free-to-play model. Games released under the GaaS model typically receive a long or indefinite stream of monetized new content over time to encourage players to continue paying to support the game*. * Wikipedia
- 23. GaaS: Monthly Subscription Many Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs) use monthly subscription models. Several MMOs offer an initial trial period that allow players to try the game for a limited amount of time, or until their character reaches an experience level cap, after which they are required to pay to continue to play*. * Wikipedia
- 25. GaaS: Game Subscription Services Subscription services like EA Access and Xbox Game Pass grant subscribers complete access to a large library of games offered digitally with no limitations. User need to download these games to their local computer or console to play. However, users must remain subscribed to play these games*. * Wikipedia
- 27. GaaS: Cloud Gaming Services like PlayStation Now or Stadia allow players to play games that are run on remote servers on local devices, eliminating the need for specialized console hardware or powerful personal computers, outside of the necessary bandwidth for Internet connectivity.
- 29. GaaS: Microtransactions Microtransactions represent low-cost purchases, compared to the cost of a full game or a large expansion pack, that provide some form of additional content to the purchaser. The type of content can vary from additional downloadable content*. * Wikipedia
- 31. GaaS: Season Passes Games with season passes provide one or more large content updates over the course of about a year, or a "season" in these terms. Players must buy into a season pass to access this new content; the game remains playable if players do not purchase the season, but they are unable to access new maps, weapons, quests, game modes, or other gameplay elements without this content.
