Minecraft Adding Real-Money Marketplace [Apr 10, 2017, 10:03 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A new Minecraft
Partner Program is being launched by Microsoft, as they are set to open a
premium marketplace for content for the sandbox construction game. This will
involve cash money, though this will be enveloped in a new form of virtual
currency because everything is better with spacebux. They offer the chance to be
a content provider, though this requires being registered as a business. Here's
word on what to expect:
Millions of Players, Dozens of Devices, One Minecraft Marketplace
Partner content will appear in the Minecraft in-game Store, which is available to Minecraft Pocket Edition and Windows 10 Edition, including Windows 10, Android, iOS, Apple TV, Gear VR, Oculus and Amazon Kindle Minecraft players.
- The in-game store makes it easy for players to download and install new maps, textures and skins without ever leaving the game.
- Every new submission from partners is reviewed for quality and safety before it is added to the store and available to players.
- Players use Minecraft Coins, a virtual currency, to make purchases. This allows creators to set a single price globally.
What an odd decision. Minecraft is well past its prime, and is a game which is already played almost entirely with free mods and skins.
There just doesn't seem to be a market here.
