Glossary Entry: Premium Currency

Definition

In many games that feature in-game purchases, you don't buy the items you want directly. Instead, you trade real money for a special fictional currency, which can only be used to purchase premium items or perks.

This special currency is also usually different than the fictional money the game generally uses, and therefore gets a unique name.
