Because of this fact, many players are curious about how Jagex can continue to stay in the black during the next financial year with the recurring economic hardships many are facing. While many games are reliant on subscription-based models for their revenues, some of OSRS Gold the most popular games make use of micro-transactions to offer virtual goods/benefits for a fraction of real world price.
A number of small online games have used micro-transactions as a way to make huge profits. Most players don't mind this choice, as long as the game is fair and enjoyable. Some game companies don't believe micro-transactions are in the spirit of their products, and they often give some gamers unfair advantages. Jagex seems to have taken this decision in the past. The Guardian quotes Mark Gerhard the CEO of Jagex as declaring:
"A number of free games are sadly misleading, since they're not. Most of them rely primarily on the microtransactions, which are really a stealthy tax. Jagex's chief executive Mark Gerhard says that it is death by a thousand cuts.
His titles are based on revenue streams from advertising and the revenue streams from membership. There are no in-game transactions. The whole thing is about psychology. You can better make money by letting someone take 20 cents for each item than to ask someone to pay $10 upfront. Commercially you can say this is a fantastic opportunity, the way of the future. It devalues the product ethically.
You can then of course be aware of the dilemma that players face in the new version of Squeal of Fortune on April 2nd, 2012: specifically, the possibility of purchasing more spins. If you are willing to Buy RS Gold put in the necessary money in real-world currency, it's possible to gain enough experience playing the wheel for level 99 in the ability.
