“Get” “Get now” “Aquire” “Access now” “Add to account” “license now”

it has the potential to make a game actually saying “buy” somewhat more valuable, which perhaps could lead to a shift from “it’s easier to require online and there’s no down side” to “perhaps we should spend a little bit of time thinking about this to get 1% boost in sales”

“Pay”

Probably not.

“Add to cart”

“Check out”
