"Balancing Profit and Player Satisfaction"
Ethical Monetization: Prioritize ethical monetization strategies that provide value to players. Avoid exploitative practices that can harm player trust.
In-Game Purchases: Implement in-game purchases thoughtfully. These can include cosmetic items, boosts, or expansion packs that enhance the player experience.

Subscription Models: Explore subscription-based models for recurring revenue. These can offer players continuous benefits and content updates.
Player Choice: Allow players to choose how they want to support the game. Some may prefer one-time purchases, while others opt for subscriptions or in-game purchases.
