Monetization Summary
Monetization covers a game's revenue model and the payment options offered to players. In the Premium model, the game is paid; in the F2P model, the game is free and revenue can be supported by IAP or advertisements. Unity Ads helps manage ad displays, while Unity IAP helps manage store purchases.

Practice Combine the Monetization Flow
Create a MonoBehaviour class named MonetizationReview. In the Start method, print information indicating that the game is F2P. Simulate a product purchase request and grant a 50-coin reward when an advertisement completes. Print the product, purchase, and reward information to the console.
Starter code
using UnityEngine;
public class MonetizationReview : MonoBehaviour
{
int coins = 0;
void Start()
{
// F2P bilgisini yazdır
// Ürün satın alma isteğini simüle et
// Reklam tamamlanma metodunu çağır
}
// Ödül metodunu tanımla
}Sample solution
using UnityEngine;
public class MonetizationReview : MonoBehaviour
{
int coins = 0;
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("Game: F2P");
string productId = "gems_pack";
Debug.Log("Purchase requested: " + productId);
OnRewardedAdCompleted();
}
void OnRewardedAdCompleted()
{
coins += 50;
Debug.Log("Reward coins: " + coins);
}
}Expected output
Game: F2P Purchase requested: gems_pack Reward coins: 50
