Option 1
- Article title Microtransaction
- Article Evaluation The Article is listed as a start, and is a topic that I am somewhat comfortable with. The article could do with some restructuring and reformatting, detailing of the history, desperately needs pictures, dedicated examples with details, and should have some subsections in the history. It should also talk a little more on the psychology of selling the microtransactions to adults, and how the feeling of sinking time and money into the game makes them more wanting to keep paying leading to something more than a gambling addiction and the ethics of locking content behind a paywall
- Sources The article has a number of sources, many of which are from news articles. This is unfortunately how it goes with this topic as it has only recently been looked at with some scrutiny if im not mistaken.
Option 2
- Article title Self-driving car
