In a way, I admire how completely bald-faced about their p2w these games are.īut here's a little thought: I'd rather play a blatantly p2w free to play game for free than a subtle free to play given the former are almost always very slick, easy affairs designed to encourage spending right out of the gate. When one of those offers pops up I dismiss it with the same ease as I do popups on browsers or ads on TV. I find it amusing to walk the middle path: take it but leave nothing behind. Take it or leave it, but there's a third option. It's just the nature of the f2p mobile business. Same with pretty much any 'popular' free to play game these days.īut equally likely is what you've just seen: periodic pushes of 'deals' and 'specials'.

The monetisation is mostly in the endgame. I'd be playing right now if the Oceanic servers weren't horrifically unstable. And it's a good campaign, for what it's worth. But I played most of the campaign during alpha with nothing but what I found.
