‘Free-to-play titles are natural fit for Xbox – Microsoft

I think the problem is that as the PSN improved, and PC remaining the best option for online multi-player, XBL gold just doesn't seem that attractive no matter how much some people swear by it. The very notion that MS can say something that basically means "we have F2P games, you just have to pay to get to play them!" brings an endless amount of ??????????????????????????????????????????? over some people's heads. No F2P game can make good money without a MP component to it, the gold service itself defeats that statement and creates a paradox.

 

ps: I say again, if you want good F2P, PC!

QFT PC free to play owns all! Guild Wars 2 is killing it at my school. The game looks amazing.

GW2 is B2P, not F2P :P , but yeah it's fun.

F2P can either be purchased or downloadable for free, but the main objective revolves around free online play and the form of profit can arrive for charging for upgrades and cosmetics. Free to play is a designation for online play not retail purchase (IE: Opposite of WOW or Star Wars Old republic going F2P).
