  • Looks like a dope anime spiderman. F2P though? Is this multiplayer or single player? It looks really cool though

  • Why is everyone against F2P games?

    • Well, games can't really be free. For F2P to work, they need to sell micro-transactions, and to do that, they need to make the game so that people are willing to spend money on micro-transactions. So, if nothing else, these games are designed to be huge time sinks.

      Also, many of these games are designed to constantly bombard you with newer / shinier thing to make you want to spend. This specially effects kids.

      Just couple of reason why I don't like them.

      That being said, if I had access to this quality of free to play games when I was young, I couldn't have been happier. I didn't had any money back then, so to be able to spend so much time in such high quality games, without paying anything, would be great for me. I wouldn't even have minded pay-to-win games back then, as long as it let me grind away without paying anything.

      • I actually like F2P games for a couple of reasons.

        First of all, they are free of course. And some are pretty entertaining, like Overwatch 2 or Fall Guys, I don't think there's a pay 2 win aspect on some, they are mostly cosmetics that you pay for. Also, "heavy" pay 2 win items discourages new players, so they usually keep that at the minimum. Usually, not always of course.

        Second, I prefer a free game with a micro-transaction side (it is totally understandable they have that) than a game like Gran Turismo 7 or most fighting games, that go full price and still have the micro-transactions. That feels like I'm being ripped off.

        I feel the negative feeling towards the F2P games is what made games like Killer Instinct for PC/Xbox to be unsuccessful. And it's a shame, that game is awesome, I still play it to this day (but ended up purchasing all characters for like 1 dollar on a sale I think).
