Don't feel like doing a quest to get the reward? Don't care about taking the time to unlock the game's super ultra secrets? Or perhaps you just suck at it? You may be in luck. For a "modest fee", the game's developers might be willing to sell you "something extra" to "boost your performance". Don't worry, it's "not really cheating" since anybody else could do the same, and you gotta trust the game's developers on this, right? A Real Life subset of Screw the Rules, I Have Money. See also Revenue Enhancing Devices. In-game money doesn't count; it has to be real money.

Rejoice, gamers, for now we can have Truth in Television, eh, Video Game FUs, where only the rich kids will have all the cool stuff. And making games more realistic always is a plus, eh? Some online games do such a thing as a response to Real Money Trade, on the logic that players would do it anyway. The sister trope is the Allegedly Free Game, which advertises itself as "free to play" but requires purchases to unlock content, up to and including higher levels and/or the actual ending. To clarify, the difference between these tropes is that Real Money Trade is forbidden by the game's developers, while an Allegedly Free Game cannot be played in its entirety without paying money, and Bribing Your Way To Victory allows you to buy better stuff but doesn't lock you out of content. A Real Life subset of Screw the Rules, I Have Money. See also Revenue Enhancing Devices. In-game money doesn't count; it has to be real money. Not related to Crimefighting with Cash.
