  • Analysing the Changes in Monetization of Games in the 21St Century
    Elmeri Lehtimäki Analysing the changes in monetization of games in the 21st century Metropolia University of Applied Sciences BBA European Business Administration Bachelor’s Thesis 30.4.2021 Author Elmeri Lehtimäki Title Analysing the changes in monetization of games in the 21st century Number of Pages 39 pages Date 30.4.2021 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme European Business Administration Instructor/Tutor Daryl Chapman, Senior Lecturer Back in the day, buying a game was simple – buy a machine (PC, PlayStation etc.), buy a physical copy of a game, and you are set. This was the method of monetization for the most selling and the most played titles. During that time and age there was very little alternative ways of monetization available. Whereas many games still have a “price tag” price to pay, the most popular and most revenue generating games are using different kind of methods of monetization than just pay-to-play and the ratio from which games generate revenue is switching from initial purchase price, towards other means of monetization. This thesis aims to give the reader an understanding of the industry, and the concepts of different methods of monetization. The various monetization methods shall be explained and analysed, with examples. The thesis and its findings shall be presented in a way, that anyone even without prior knowledge of the industry will be able to understand the content. The research suggests that some of the most popular and revenue generating games utilize a mixture of different types of microtransactions instead of just one This has drastically changed from the past where the only method of monetization was the upfront payment.

    FIFA 21 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David McClure | 28 pages | 10 Nov 2020 | Independently Published | 9798561975622 | English | none Fifa 21 PDF Book The defensive ability he showed throughout, and especially in the second half of the campaign, is likely to see Davies' stats not only rise but his position as a whole change, likely making him one of the most desirable left-backs around. Additional information Published by Electronic Arts. There are a few more changes. Beyond that, there are a couple of cosmetic upgrades. Practice Set Pieces. Manual headers will entirely rely on the direction and power you apply, with no assists whatsoever. Ronaldo had been the sole cover star of FIFA 18 and FIFA 19, but the Portugal icon will not return to grace the front of the game, in part due to Juventus' exclusive partnership with EA's rivals Konami, which is set to last for another two years. In years gone by, passing was easier than dribbling, so FIFA was ruled by tiki-taka. His 76 rating from FIFA 20 was another realistic reflection of a year-old coming into the new season. If you want to improve your FIFA 21 game without having to resort to cheating or underhanded methods, you're going to need to know a few essential tricks. Unfortunately, FIFA's opaque matchmaking system is even more opaque with Volta Squads where there isn't any indicator of how many people are online, let alone available in a region near you. You can see a full comparative analysis of Messi and Ronaldo's attributes on the game here.

  • Számítástechnikai Hírek
    Corbomycin névvel talajban élő, az Actinomyces családba tartozó baktériumokban új antibiotikum hatású anyagot fedeztek fel a kanadai és amerikai kutatók, miközben olyan géneket kerestek, amelyek a glikopeptidek termelődéséért felelősek (ezek gátolják a baktériumsejteket kívülről védő sejt- fal felépülését), de ugyanakkor nincsenek ismert rezisztenciagénjeik. A corbomycin esetében azt tapasztalták, hogy gátolja a sejtfal lebomlását, és ezzel alkalmatlanná teszi arra, hogy alkal- mazkodjon a sejtosztódáskor bekövetkező méretnövekedéshez. Képalkotó technikákkal is bi- zonyították a baktérium sejtfalának lebomlását gátló hatást. Állatkísérletek során a cor- bomycinnel egerekben még a meticillinrezisztens Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bőrfertőzést is kezelni tudták (az MRSA kórokozót szuperbaktériumnak is hívják, sokszor halálos kórházi fertőzést okoz). A kutatók az új antibiotikum mellett több, már korábban ismert vegyületről bizonyították, hogy ezzel a most felfedezett hatásmechanizmussal pusztítják a baktériumokat. Halicin névvel új hatékony antibiotikumot fedeztek fel mesterséges intelligencia alkalmazása segítsé- gével. A felfedzés új hatásmehanizmust igazolt, a baktériumsejt membránjában a protonok transzportját gátolja a Halicin. Bebizonyosodott, hogy ennek a hatásmechanizmusnak köszön- hetően még az antibiotikum-rezisztens E- colit is el tudta pusztítani a Halicin. A közeljövőben a klinikai, humán kísérletek is megindulnak, melyek pozitív eredményei a humán gyógyászat- ban is hozzáférhetővé teszik az értékes antibiotikumot. M. E. Számítástechnikai

  • Understanding the Longevity of a Disliked Brand
    How FIFA Scores from an Offside Position: Understanding the longevity of a Disliked Brand DAAN FLORIS JUISTENGA & JORIS MARTIJN BERTHOLET MASTER THESIS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Acknowledgment First and foremost, we want to thank our supervisor Assistant Professor Brian McCauley for his support and dedication throughout the entire duration of this thesis. He provided us on numerous occasions with straight-to-the-point feedback and always did so, regardless of his busy schedule, even faster than we could comprehend ourselves. Moreover, we want to thank our participants who made this very thesis possible. Without their interviews and valuable insights, we could not have done this. They made us even more passionate about the topic than we priorly thought would be possible for a thesis. In addition, we want to thank our fellow students that presented us with relevant feedback during the seminars. Also, thank you for taking away some of our concerns by sharing your own problems as well. It was really helpful to know we were not the only ones struggling. Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude to all professors of JIBS that gave us lectures which, in some way or another, helped us with this thesis. We remember many noteworthy lectures, physical in the first semester and via Zoom at the end of the year due to Covid-19. In specific, we want to thank Assistant Professor Darko Pantelić and Associate Professor Adele Berndt for their passionate lectures and words of wisdom during our orientational phase of the thesis. In hindsight, we look back to an experience that ironically can be compared to most consumer’s relationship with FIFA; at times we hated the thesis but now looking back we are happy with the results of our efforts.
