Why did games go from joy-filled to pay-to-win? How did loot boxes, season passes, and virtual currencies take over?
Insert Coin is not just a history—it’s a reveal. Discover how we got from Pong to Fortnite. Understand the psychology behind microtransactions. And explore the rise of indie rebellion in a world of soulless grind.
If you’ve ever felt like your favorite pastime turned into a transaction—this book explains why.
Welcome to the game beneath the game.
Insert Coin. Press Start. Wake up.
