From Microtransactions to Mobile Payments: How Phone-First Spending Changed Gaming

Gaming used to make payment feel separate from play. You bought a cartridge, a disc or a download, then the game began. Mobile gaming changed that relationship. The store, the device, the account and the game all moved closer together. Now a player can unlock content, buy a cosmetic item, renew a subscription or add

How Web3 Games Are Trying to Win Back Regular Players in 2026
