free-to-play
A deceiving concept invented by gaming companies to trick people into spending copious amounts of money on binary digits that have no practical applications in the real world.Of course
free to play games are free to download, and free to play, however if you want to make any sort of progress in said game, or be on a comparable level to other players in said game, you need to spend real world money in the fantasy world game to have any sort of fun.Oftentimes consumers spend more money on free to play games than the
MSRP price of many retail games.You know that the title is deceiving when Electronic Arts, a bunch of money
grubbing whores, says that
Free To Play games are the future of the industry.
Free to Play

When a game is, self explainatory, free to play. Generally
F2P (abberiviation) games have a
Free mode, and a Premium mode, which costs money but has benefits over Free mode. Games that do not have a Premium mode are supported by DLC (such as Team Fortress 2) and might have more benefits just for buying DLC.
F2P games with a premium mode generally create elitest groups from premium players which insult F2P gamers,
thinking money buys them skill, and writing off F2P gamer comments as invalid. I've seen one instance of someone suggesting to make a game with a Free mode, Premium, and Pro mode, have Free mode removed and make the game pay to play. (game was
Quake Live)
Free to Play can be the answer for those who want games for free and do not want to resort to pirating.
Example:
Paragraph 1 Example:
Gamer 1: Wanna play
Team Fortress 2?
Gamer 2: Nah, I'm on a strict budget. No game buying for me. Unless I can pirate it.
Gamer 1: Nah, bro! TF2 is Free to Play! Just download it off of Steam and get on my server!
Gamer 2: I'd love to, but I don't have Steam.
Gamer 1: Remind me why we still hang out with each other?
Paragraph 2 Example1:
Playomatic: Hey, how do I get the
minigun? I've been searching for it, but I can't unlock it.
PremiPro:
lol u cant unlock it by playing u must buy it u cheap n00b lol
Example 2:
The_New_Guy: I'm new here, so I was wondering if there was any servers I could join?
xXPrO_fTwXx: wtf is he tring to say? i dont spek f2p-n00b.
Example 3:
dAWinAr: hello, i was wondering if we could remove the f2p scum from our respectable community by requiring players to pay the monthly premium fee to play this game. that would remove the n00bs and make us pros the only ones.
Gamerator: yesh, thats wold let us winars have betr servrs and take away da f2p players who cant play
Respectable_John: This post was removed by the topic poster
The_Blade_of_Fury: Locked, we don't want to remove the Free mode, as that would drive away gamers.

Example:
Rachel's mom wants me to go with her daughter to their
beach house alone because she wants her to meet
a good guy. I'm the most dangerous man in the world with a free play.

Remember when you were five and asked your mom for
free play?
Basicly you do what you want and play ie: swings, various forms of tag, chase, hide and seek, big booty (the game), bubbles, duck duck goose, red rover,
red light green light, four square, backwards tag, kick the can,
heads up seven up, parachute, and popcorn.
Free play is usally followed by nap time.
Example:
student 1: hey
lets go have free play
student 2: free play, i love free play whoooo!!
(after free play)
student 1: man I could use some
nap time
