because that f2p game, would cost u more money than buying the game upfront
i spend like 80-90 dollar on dota2 cosmetic, plus 2 battlepasses and its levels

I generally don’t think F2P games are a very good deal for the player.

Me too, but clearly there’s a huge part of the market that would rather put up with ads than go with an alternative

It really depends. There are great examples like DOTA2 and Path of Exile, and miserable examples, like every crappy gacha game.
Riot is kinda in the middle for me. Shame they nuked 2XKO after not telling anyone about it or catering to the people they neglected to tell about it.

What grinds my gears is when a game ends up not what you expected. One of the only games I returned was Doom Eternal, I bought it and hated it and this is from someone who’s played all the doom games and even made maps for fun. I got it again for a dollar off of humble bundle and I will probably never play it.
Same goes for The Outer Worlds. I was excited about it. The whole epic launcher thing saved me the full price. Got it years later with all the dlc for $1. Played it and found it to not be as fun as I thought it was going to be.

What didn’t you like about Doom Eternal? That one was widely praised.
myyass@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think part of the reason it was highly praised was because I imagine it was a lot of peoples first Doom game. Like Doom 2016 and Doom 3, it was also something a bit different.
I didn’t like the scarcity of ammo and constantly have to see and hear the stupid chainsaw. And the cinematic
killseverything got really annoying as well. The level design was okay, but felt very restricted compared to Doom 2016, also invisible walls. It felt slow and I didn’t care for the jumping mechanics, what is this Super Mario? I didn’t make it to playing it two hours since I returned it, I’m sure it probably got better but I didn’t feel like playing it.
