Microtransaction

Microtransactions are a business model where customers can purchase goods or services in very small increments. This model is often used in video games, where players can buy in-game items such as new weapons, characters, or abilities, for a small fee. Microtransactions can also be found in other digital products and services, such as online music or news sites that offer premium content for a monthly or yearly subscription.

The microtransaction model has been criticized by some as a way for businesses to take advantage of customers, especially children and young adults. However, many people find microtransactions to be a convenient and affordable way to get the content they want. What do you think of microtransactions?
