Watching ads in-game on your Android smartphone is about to get more beneficial, as Google has launched its rewarded products feature which allows developers to give you goodies in return for a few seconds of your time.
Writing in an Android Developers Blog post, Patrick Davis, Product Manager at Google Play, explains "Our first rewarded product offering will be in a video format. Users can elect to watch a video advertisement and upon completion be rewarded with virtual goods or in-game currency."
In short, rewarded products makes it easier for developers to include ad-based monetizable actions in their apps, which should result in a more seamless experience for you - the player.
