Opinion on Microtransactions in Video Games

The point of this survey is to find out what is the opinion on microtransactions of people of all knowledge levels about the topic. This is because people who are usually vocal about this topic are very invested in video games and the opinion of people who are more casually involved or not at all involved with video games might drastically differ. So this survey is intended for you even if you have never played a video game in your life.



The information collected will not be shared with anybody outside of people involved with the project with the exception of our UX professor Aleksander Radovan.
