Micro-transactions [Research Paper Help]

[yik-boh]

Guys, I need your help. I am now doing a research paper for my English class. It is about Micro-transactions. I am trying to prove that Micro-transaction will help solve or lessen piracy. I need your opinions about micro-transaction.

What are the benefits you get from it?
What is/are lacking on the said business model?
How the flexibility of micro-transactions make it so that the price/cost of buying a product is not seen by the buyer as prohibitive and makes it so that the product is made much more accessible to people because of the decrease in price and adaptable paying scheme.

Those are just some of the questions. You can add if you want. Also, maybe you can write your real name when you answer because I might need it for bibliographical purposes. I hope you can help me. Thanks! :)

Is it actually part of your assignment that you are supposed to get opinions from others? Otherwise I think your thread may violate the homework help guidelines.

It is a research paper so I think first hand data in this case, interview, will be very useful and I mentioned that I will credit those who will answer by putting them in the citations or bibliography.

Those questions are better answered by research into people who actually know what it all means - or alternatively books/sources that can do so.

Interviewing random people on a site isn't really very good, and even if someone gives you some answers, without checking their accuracy it could be complete tripe and make your "first hand data" a load of nonsense. Remember, opinions =/= facts.

I may have a strong opinion on how bad it is and it doesn't help - but the reality may be the complete opposite.

So unless you are specifically looking for 'iffy data' you'd be better off asking for sources to help you answer them than for the answers themselves.

@jared: thanks for the advice! :) I will look into that. Yes maybe you're right but we can still wait if there are people who will answer or as you suggested, will give sources. :)

I agree with TSA & jared, this thread doesn't make sense.
