Apstrakt

Industrija video igara je jedan od retkih učesnika globalnog tržišta, kog kontinuirano prati trend rasta. Jedan od najčešće implementiranih modela današnjeg tržišta mobilnih igara je upravo Free-to-Play (F2P). Kod ovog modela, igra se korisniku nudi besplatno, uz mogućnost kupovine unutar aplikacije, nadogradnje ili novih funkcija. Cilj rada jeste da se uz pomoć postojećih podataka industrije, analize na konkretnom primeru igre „Homescapes“ i ankete sprovedene aktivnim korisnicima ovog tipa igara, kao i zaposlenima kompanije Playrix, sprovede istraživanje i izvede zaključak o faktorima uspeha F2P poslovnog modela i njegovoj održivosti u budućnosti.
