    I pretty much just assume "Free To Play" games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

    E: to be clear, I don't think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I'm all about it.

    What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

      F2P with microtransactions isn't inherently bad. Legends of Runeterra is that way and is maybe the best-done F2P model I've ever seen.

        They're all way too expensive though. I'd have bought way more if they were lower and enjoyed the game more for it.

      I have like 1000 hours in Warframe and only spent like 20$ on it. Even that wasn't really necessarily. You can farm shit and easily make enough of the in game money for what you need selling it to other players.

      True, but there is nothing wrong with that really unless it's a multiplayer game where you get unfair advantages. It's hard to expect a f2p game to not have micro transactions.

          That's so fucking stupid lmao. Crying about stuff that doesn't even do anything but make you look different.

            I think you may have missed my initial reply where I stated specifically stated that I was not concerned about "stuff that makes you look different".

      Yes, there are good games that are just totally free. I’ve enjoyed the hell out of both ΔV: Rings of Saturn and South Scrimshaw lately. Both offer things you can purchase, but you get the full experience without them.
