One of reasons that PC P2P failed is: people unable to pay. . .even if they want to pay ? what ?

Okay , i know it's stupid .

But it's true that not all of gaming people use use credit card or able to buy the gaming card ...
Left alone the people who so poor , most of people don't want something trouble some things and always go with cash over card

And here we come the mobile bill . One of the reason why mobile gaming mass success because ... there are always money in the phone account.

Haha , i know it stupid but after nearly 20 years of online gaming and i never though about it .

So , do you think it's true what above is true ?

    you are kinda late, that is true mostly because you, like most, only think on your own backyard, forget there is a whole world around and most games only accept credit card, or worse subscription based who will continually charge you till you cancel it, with require you need to trust the company for doing it without problem, and with most won't, or can't since they don't own a international credit card, but funny enough games who gave most payment methods was the ones who survive a lot longer, nowadays is more common not so much a decade ago

    1)Your grammar makes this one tough to understand
    2)If you are poor or lacking funds your concern should not be video games, computers or magical always full phone accounts (which come from credit cards usually)
    3)I don't think this is valid, if one can pay a phone bill then one should have the capacity to pay online for an mmo sub etc. Again though, Shelter/food/taxes....video games later priority.

    I know people who don't have a TV or computer, but they do have a smartphone.  Their appartment is where they sleep, shower, and change clothes.  Otherwise they are not home, they do use facebook, but as far as I know they don't play games.  Any bill is a major concern.

    What do they spend their extra cash on?  Weed.

    Pardon any spelling errors

    Boy: Why can't I talk to Him?
    Mom: We don't talk to Priests.
    As if it could exist, without being payed for.
    F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
    Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
    It costs money to play.  Therefore P2W.

    Yeah , it's kind of late . Only after i had an offline party with my old online friends , talking about old times with P2P games .
    And when i think about it , it's hold true that most online game publisher mostly use credit cards or limited location release gaming cards .

    If you think about WOW wild success in China , you will see the easy to access gaming card that sell at most Chinese Net cafe .
