From horse armor and loot boxes to battle passes and billion-dollar cosmetics, modern gaming has become as much about buying as it is about playing. In this episode of Game-Loft Cast, we explore how microtransactions evolved from optional extras to essential business models—and what it means for players, developers, and game design. Are monetization strategies enhancing our experiences, or exploiting our time and wallets? This is the full story of how games became marketplaces—and where we go from here.
