For this week’s cast, I spoke with noted Game Economist Ramin Shokrizade on the growth of monetization in the game industry, and how it impacted MMOs, free to play games, games as a service, and a lot more.
There was a lot to unpack here, and even more to talk about in the future. Ramin and I talked about how monetization grew from the early MMOs and free to play games to where it is now.
