    Two types that i know of:

    • in-game live service bonus items rewarded for play time or achieving some kind of objectives.

    • potential DLCs for a game that may or may not be made

    Both can be scummy. The former can basically be a mobile pay to win scam that drains bank accounts, the latter can be a “we decided not to add any more content, so thanks for the money and goodbye sucker!” scam that overprices a game and underdelivers.
