Popular online retailer Amazon hasunveiled a new servicedesigned specifically for the ever-growingfree-to-playmarket. Game Connect provides an easy space for developers to link their freemium titles, and allows users to make easy microstransactions via the marketplace.
The consumer can link their existing Amazon account with supported titles, making in-game purchases more convenient. Amazon promises seamless purchasing, meaning you’ll buy currency directly without the need to for extra unlock codes. The potential to make microstransactions so easily will doubtless make them that much more attractive.
