Nothing is ever truly 'free'
Everyone loves a freebie, and a free game, well, it’s like the warm touch of a hand on your back, and a voice in your ear, saying, “Go on. You deserve it.”
Straightforward pay-to-win games – games in which you can buy power are pretty rare these days; players don’t like obvious funny-business, and are capable of kicking up a fuss, like in the case of Star Wars Battlefront II. But even allowing players to “skip the grind” gives that rich or reckless player an advantage, and it does, in fact, allow them to Pay to Win.
There is no pay-to-win in League. Everything sold through the game is cosmetic, and you can even get skins without having to do more than grind, and get lucky with loot boxes. Still, many would argue they’re happy to spend money on ephemeral fun, to pay for it one skin or bit of DLC at a time. Yes, when they ponder the total money spent they get the shivers, but wouldn’t you if you totalled the money you’ve given to McDonald’s?
There are also free open source games, for example, 0 A.D., a great example of a truly free game that is as good as a pay-to-play one. There aren’t, in truth, many really great open-source games. Development tends to be, compared to that of a commercial game, slow. On the other hand, so long as a game’s source code exists on the Internet, development doesn’t have to end. The game doesn’t go, poof, though the players might.Some of the most addictive games in the world are free-to-play.
