Help with a research paper

[kasra25]

Hi.

I am doing a research paper on "how free video games can make money" I have gathered all the info I need to write the paper but I am required to have at least one chapter/excerpt from a book.

Sadly I am not familiar with any such books(E-books too). can anyone recommend me one that can help me in anyways?

Try some books on marketing, you probably know that there's always a carrot and a stick with free video games, but all free products have a catch.

Also, there's probably alot of books on how facebooks been so finacially successfull despite being free.

"Swords and Circuitry" has some great things to say about game development, and I'm pretty sure that they have a section on Free-to-Play.

Here's a link to amazon:
