The gaming business is undergoing a major shift away from subscription models as virtual items become a larger part of its economy, reaching almost $6 billion worldwide in microtransaction revenues by 2015, according to international research firm Parks Associates.

"The enormous player base, availability on multiple devices, and the introduction of instruments such as Facebook Credits contribute to growing revenues."
