What if a little bit of every in-app purchase made by online gamers went to help microloans to entrepreneurs in developing countries? PlaySeeds, a new product, is working on making this happen by integrating itself directly into the game environment to encourage gamers already playing the game to make a purchase. The purchase is then split between the app developer of the game and an entrepreneur in a developing country who gets the money directly to their account. See here how PlaySeeds is bringing social change to the online gaming world
