Furthermore, the author will list possible solutions to reduce negative impacts caused by these risks. In the last decade, e-commerce transactions like the one described above became a routine.

The majority of these transactions are business-to-consumer. During the last five to ten years, publishers of entertainment software have also targeted the Internet as a new distribution channel. Approaching gamers directly through websites or platform marketplaces is a faster and more profitable way of generating revenue than traditional retailing.
