It’s a jungle out there. Now more than ever, video game publishers and console manufacturers are competing for your coin. While most games can be purchased on their own for a flat fee and enjoyed in their entirety, subscription plans enable us to sample a buffet-style spread of diverse games for one monthly rate.
Additionally, big tech industries compete to entice the gaming community with their homegrown streaming platforms designed to give players the choice to stream plenty of games rather than purchase them outright and download them.
Not to mention, the hottest free-to-play games make their sorts of digital currency to keep things nice and complicated. Time to unravel it all.
