Summary - Monetization

Reinforce monetization usage with a summary task.

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.

Premium / F2P
IAP / Ads
Rewarded Ads
Ethical Design

A successful revenue model should protect the player experience and transparency.

Exercise 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.

Show example 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);
    }
}
