Extra Credits - Doing Free to Play Wrong - How Bad Monetization Harms F2P Games
Comments
Pretty sure this is the main objective for most monetized F2P games. How to bring the objective to fruition, however, is the "Million $$$ question."
I am pretty sure every single player would love to play games for free.
EVERYTHING developers are doing is to simply make excuses for selling crappy,buggy unfinished products.WE used to scoff at devs who did this,now they have the lame crutch ...but but our game is not officially finished,it is in early access ,early alpha.
Ok so remind me why you are asking money if you KNOW your game is an unfinished buggy mess?
Also missed by this video author is that devs do not NEED longevity because they are putting VERY little cost into their game while quickly luring players into spending money.KS's start attaining money without having a single iota of game design.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
You and I know this but a lot of people just think "they are greedy" or "just lazy devs".

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Now here is a video for everyone.

The difference between
Pay 2 Win (P2W)
Pay 2 Enjoy (P2E)
Pay 2 Advance Faster
Black Desert isn't as bad as Archeage but it does suck that they have no freedom of market, and never enough costumes for sale or gifting because everyone has 20 million to spend on a costume );...
Looking for better games );
I laugh ever time I watch it.
