description Fortnite is the most successful video game in terms of revenues generated. Since it belongs to the 'free-to-play games', the company has to optimize the in-game-shop to generate revenues. Product differentiation is one possibility to optimize the profitability of the game. In this paper, we use a microeconomic approach in order to highlight the implications of product differentiation for the profit maximization problem. Fortnite ist gemessen an den erzielten Einnahmen das erfolgreichste Videospiel. Da es zu den "Free-to-Play-Spielen" gehört, muss das Unternehmen den In-Game-shop optimieren, um Einnahmen zu generieren. Die Produktdifferenzierung ist eine Möglichkeit, die Rentabilität des Spiels zu optimieren. In diesem Beitrag verwenden wir einen mikroökonomischen Ansatz, um die Auswirkungen der Produktdifferenzierung auf das Problem der Gewinnmaximierung hervorzuheben.
