For fighting games, microtransactions are not the most common thing. For example, in the recently released Dead or Alive 6, there is no opportunity to purchase in-game content for real currency yet. But in Mortal Kombat 11, such an option will appear, and this fact worries the players.

The example of Ubisoft shows why some publishers are so interested in developing DLC and implementing microtransactions. Downloadable content, in-game items, subscriptions and advertising accounted for 35% of Ubisoft’s revenue in the past six months.

According to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, at least 35% of players make in-game purchases in the Ultimate Team modes of EA Sports games.
