Video game revenues have been skyrocketing over the years; these games are going gangbusters thanks to microtransactions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion offered downloadable horse armor for $2. Charging microtransactions for a single-player game was virtually unheard of at that time, so rightfully, there was valid uproar and complaints about that decision. These days, gamers are more desensitized toward additional purchases; microtransactions account for almost 60% of video game sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microtransactions account for cosmetics and include subscription-based models like World of Warcraft<\/a>, loot boxes, seasonal battle passes, live-service games, DLCs, expansions, and many more. These games generate untold riches for their companies when made well. In this article, we\u2019ll look at some video game revenues that broke the bank for their companies through in-app purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
