| KylieDog said: Well your list in the OP is not true of all F2P games. Many are well designed and the good items need be earned, with the fun and mostly visual stuff that costs money. My main gripe is if I spend the same amount as a retail game, the quality and content doesn't match that of a retail game, even in same genre. I have similar issues with DLC, stuff like Mass Effect expansions can cost 20% of the main game yet last 2-3% of the games length if I am lucky...not paying for that. |
Oh, I'm well aware that all of these issues are not in every F2P game. The issues don't need to all be in every game to be issues. :P
I personally voted for the "nickel and dimed" option, but my main gripe is really a combination of that and the "I don't want to pay for something in a free game." I only ever really get into games like DotA 2 where all content is cosmetic in nature. My gripe is that I would gladly pay for the overall content in the game, but when all of that content is given to me for free, I don't find cosmetic items to be worth their price individually. When I buy them, I don't do it because I think I'm getting dollars worth of entertainment, I do it because I feel like I'm helping to donate to the game I like and am getting a little present for my donation. And I don't like that for some reason.
