If you've ever played a mobile game, you've probably seen that there's an option to pay to upgrade Free-to-play, or pay-to-win, games are a large majority today. It is normal that many titles offer micro-payments to be able to reach a higher level or buy something that is not available for free in the game. However, this is about to change.
Google Play will let you see ads so you can buy things for freeThat is to say, that you will be paying with your time in exchange for buying something in a certain game. This new action, to watch videos, will be an option to get virtual coins in the game, watching ads. Well, as you know, viewing sponsored content allows game developers to earn money.
Google Play opens the ban, you can get money in the games by watching more ads
This practice is already common among developers, although until now they could not offer you real money in the game However, as of now, Google Play makes it much easier for developers. The games will be able to integrate a lot of ads and you will be the one who chooses to see them to be able to make purchases within the game itself. Right now this feature is already being tested by some developers in beta mode, but it will soon be available in final versions of the games.The feature is already present in the AIDL (one of the libraries used to develop Android games).
For players this feature may be interesting, as they can easily monetize their action. Now developers will be able to offer even more money for watching videos on Android. As TechCrunch says, developers are only looking for profits to reach $71.7 trillion by 2020 We are sure there will be thousands of full screen videos from now on to access Reward Products, the new feature of Google Play.
