Imagine now a monetization designer for The Division 2, but give him friendly goals.
Monetization Designer Wanted – Player-First
This is what the specialist for The Division 2 should be able to do: Ubisoft is looking in a job listing for a “Monetization Designer” with the goal of developing a “sleek, fair and non-intrusive” system. Among other things, the responsibilities include close collaboration with the departments around The Division 2 to achieve set project goals.
The requirement is to be a “champion” in developing a monetization system that is “fair and modern”; “player-first” is the motto. At the same time, one should be in close exchange with business managers to ensure that business needs are taken into account in the design.
What it’s like in The Division 1
This is how it is in The Division 1: Monetization of game content (microtransactions) has been a common element in video games for several years. Since 1.6, The Division has a premium vendor where you can buy cosmetic items and gestures for real money.
Here you can open containers using cipher keys, for which you need to collect fragments, which then randomly provide certain items such as gestures, skins, and clothes for the agents. They are loot boxes.
You cannot obtain any weapons or equipment for real money, which is an important aspect since you cannot buy advantages over other players.
You also don’t have to put effort into obtaining the keys, as the fragments can normally be obtained from elite bosses.
However, you can also buy these keys and premium credits for real money. The rates are as follows:
- 500 Premium Credits Pack 4.99 €
- 1050 Premium Credits Pack 9.99 €
- 2400 Premium Credits Pack 19.99 €
- 4600 Premium Credits Pack 34.99 €
- 7200 Premium Credits Pack 49.99 €
