Let’s have a look at another player-positive monetization mechanic — gifting.

This one is considered one of the most underused in modern games. However, if done correctly, gifts can become a great addition to your monetization strategy that bonds the community together and brings joy to the giver and the person receiving the gift. Here are some tips for making a good gifting system in your game:

• Pair gifts with personalization
• Introduce thanking and gift announcement systems
• Make sure the gifter also receives something
• Gifts shouldn’t bother the core gameplay and the economy of the game
• Players shouldn’t be able to use gifts for harassment.

Bring some joy and altruism to your gamer community and introduce a gifting system.
