The common criticism of that business model is that the returns are disproportional to those who have money, and your livelihood is sustained by <1% of your consumers who are considered "whales" and spend very large amounts.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoActually very much NOT like pay to play games. User A pays User B for something User B created. The company that creates the platform is just overhead and gets paid indirectly through transaction fees. There are working models of this sort of in the porn industry with "web cams" (again not like in app game purchases :-)) and actual dollars.
