Monetization As Part Of Game Design
MONETIZATION
An integral part of game design
Tanvi Kapoor
Game Lover (& Hobby Developer)
Local Presence, Global Operations
6 Billion Daily Ad Requests
140 Billion Monthly Ad Impressions
Mobile First Advertising Platform
17 Offices and 900 Employees
A BRIEF HISTORY
Designing Games = Creating Fun!
Focus on MECHANICS, DYNAMICS & AESTHETICS
Aim to create fun, immersive & entertaining experiences
The only money exchange was at the point of sale.
Traditionally, monetization was not part of game design
But ‘free to play’ games changed everything
Monetization must be at the core of game design
Facilitated by the rise and ubiquity of smartphones
Making games accessible to a wider audience
MONETIZATION STRATEGIES
What is the most suitable business model?
Monetization choices
Traditional model of ‘pay before you play’ which can still
work well for big franchises and other niche titles
Free download of the game with monetisation coming
later through sale of virtual currency or consumable items
Monetise your traffic through advertising revenue by
showing banners, interstitial and video ads
Although a viable business model on PC / MMO games,
Apple has forbidden this for games (iOS Guidelines 11.15)SUBSCRIPTION

IAP vs. Ads Revenue
Ad monetization can represent up to 50% of a game’s revenue
Killers
Competitive gamers who like to
beat the game and other players
while mastering new tools of the
trade. Perfect target for limited
edition sales and early adopters
of new virtual goods.
Socialites
Competitive or casual gamers
who are more concerned about
sharing their achievements with
their social network be it good or
bad. Perfect target for creating a
viral effect for your game.
Achiever
Generally casual gamers who are
interested in collecting badges,
coins, etc as a matter of
prestige. They generally pay for
level ups and have the potential
to be big spenders.
Scrooges
Casual gamers who are loathe to
spending any money on the game.
Hacks and social incentives are the
most common tricks of their trade
to get ahead in the game play.
Types of Gamers…
IN APP PURCHASES
Monetizing ‘emotional’ states
CURIOSITY
IAPs can be centered around FOUR player emotions
COMFORT
AMBITION
IMPATIENCE
1.  If your game has new levels/content,
announce them ahead of time.
2.  Log all stats of your player’s games.
You can offer statistics on how your
users stack up, as an IAP
3.  Provide samples of IAP-based
content. Eg: a special gun that can be
used twice for free before you can
buy it.
CURIOSITY Monument Valley
Ruzzle
Fruit Ninja
1.  IAPs that help users overtake
friends (which would imply a social
angle to the game)
2.  Own awesome things/collectibles
3.  Cater to different demographics
and tastes
Draw SomethingAgent DashTemple Run 2
AMBITION
1.  Provide tools for easy progress
2.  Give things that will speed things
up in a game
COMFORT
Jetpack JoyrideCookie Clickers
IMPATIENCE
1.  Offer IAPs at tough moments. Eg:
‘save me’
2.  Limited time offers / One time
deals

  • 8. MONETIZATION STRATEGIES What is the most suitable business model?
  • 9. Monetization choices Traditional model of ‘pay before you play’ which can still work well for big franchises and other niche titles Free download of the game with monetisation coming later through sale of virtual currency or consumable items Monetise your traffic through advertising revenue by showing banners, interstitial and video ads Although a viable business model on PC / MMO games, Apple has forbidden this for games (iOS Guidelines 11.15)SUBSCRIPTION ADVERTISING IN APP PURCHASES PAID

Achiever Generally casual gamers who are interested in collecting badges, coins, etc as a matter of prestige. They generally pay for level ups and have the potential to be big spenders. Scrooges Casual gamers who are loathe to spending any money on the game. Hacks and social incentives are the most common tricks of their trade to get ahead in the game play. Types of Gamers…
  • 12. IN APP PURCHASES Monetizing ‘emotional’ states
  • 13. CURIOSITY IAPs can be centered around FOUR player emotions COMFORT AMBITION IMPATIENCE
  • 14. 1.  If your game has new levels/content, announce them ahead of time. 2.  Log all stats of your player’s games. You can offer statistics on how your users stack up, as an IAP 3.  Provide samples of IAP-based content. Eg: a special gun that can be used twice for free before you can buy it. CURIOSITY Monument Valley Ruzzle Fruit Ninja

Will ads impact user retention and IAP monetization? How can I maximize my ad revenue? What is mediation, and how does it work? How many ad networks should I work with?
  • 20. Player goes through an emotional rollercoaster while playing a game Leading to states of EXPLORATION, ACHIEVEMENT & DISENGAGEMENT

  • 24. Lets explore a few examples
  • 25. Casino & slots More than 5% Paying Users Game Dynamics: 10 Sessions per Week for Casino 20+ Sessions per Week for Slots 40-45 yr old Males 35-50 yr old Females A user who hasn’t been paying for 9 months can also turn out to be a whale.

Rewarded Counter = Y? Score < 10? Score < High Score? Score < 15 Yes No NoYes Turn Counter %3 = 0?
