Monetization today is one of the foundations of our games, serving to make each player's experience diverse and exciting on a day-to-day basis!

Our Live Ops are based around real-world calendar events, new game content, game features or changes - we are limited only by our creativity, and that creativity is the foundation of successful Live Ops!
