A popular form of [MTX](/garden/mtx/index.md) where instead of receiving a useful item or effect directly, you receive a currency that is then spent on an in game store

Reasons companies use them
- Abstracts the real world price of items
	- No strict conversion ratio
	- Discounts for bulk purchasing
	- Small amounts given for free based on story progression or watching ads
- Consolidates smaller purchases into a larger one (decreasing friction of individual purchases)
