Microtransactions: a video introduction

By on July 18, 2011

The Escapist magazine ran a video introduction to microtransactions. I took a deep breath before I watched it – expecting a Zero Punctuation style scathing review of the business model that would probably make me laugh out loud while also seething.

Instead, we got a balanced, nuanced, critical analysis of microtransactions from the team at ExtraCreditz.

You should watch it.
