Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 day agoOne minor correction, I believe The Sims 4 went F2P at some point. They’re funded entirely by expansion packs now.

Yeah, I thought about changing it, but…the problem is that while the base game is playable now for $0, the overwhelming bulk of the game’s content is in expansion packs. Like, I don’t think that people really buy and play just the base game; it’d be more like a demo.

That’s fair. Though, by that logic would you consider something like that one Final Fantasy MMO F2P or not? I believe it lets you play all the old content for free and only charges for the last (few?) expansions.

I would call it stradling between F2P and Subscription.
Got 6 months worth of free playtime before I got a sub, at which point I felt more guilty not to.

Yeah, expensive but high-quality add-ons are the norm for flight sims.
