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).
Unnecessary writing wears out the SSD in the same way putting on your shoes wears them out.
