* ''[[Portal 2]]'''s multiplayer mode has its own shop where players can pay real-world money to unlock special emotes, accessories, and so on.
* ''[[War Of Legends]]'' has "WoLCash" used to purchase in-game items and bonuses.
* All of [[Zynga]]'s games, including ''[[
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' has AutoCash.
* ''[[Bloodline Champions]]'' lets you spend real money to unlock characters. However, you can play your way to most of the things in the store, and nothing that can be bought with real money affects gameplay in any way.
Line 55:
* [[Playfish]] games like ''[[Pet Society]]'' and ''[[Restaurant City]]'' have separate coins (generated in-game) and cash (real money) counters.
* ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' allows you to purchase and download additional sidequests during the post-game, almost all of which have new characters as rewards.
* ''[[
** ''Calamity Trigger'' lets you pay a small fee to unlock the "Unlimited" forms of some characters, instead of playing for them.

* ''[[League of Legends]]'' uses Micropayments as a shortcut for unlocking heroes. Micropayments are also the only way to buy character skins, which are entirely cosmetic.
* ''[[Lord Of Ultima]]''. Free to play, but one can purchase "diamonds" that in turn allow for the purchase of artifacts that give resources, build-time increases, etc. The game limits how frequently you can use them, though.
Line 68:
* [[Rock Band]] has 300 or so songs found across the five released games, and a handful available on "track pack" discs. The other 2500 or so require individual purchase at $2 a pop, or in packs which cost a little less.
* [[Civilization]] V has DLC for civs, wonders, and map styles.
* [[
* Failed spectacularly in ''[[EVE Online]]'', when the release of $70, purely cosmetic monocles caused in-game riots.
* To unlock all the characters and power-ups in ''[[Temple Run]]'', you need coins. These coins can be gathered within the game, but for the impatient they are also available for real money.
