#steamgames #freetoplay #steam Explore the world of gaming without breaking the bank! In this video, I've compiled a list of fantastic and free-to-play Steam...
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.
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.
I thought I heard once that the demo is just the full version, but you can just also buy it to support the devs? That might be outdated or just wrong information though.
Also there are several really good open source games which are obviously microtransaction free. OpenTTD from this list is an example and Osu!lazer and SuperTuxKart also come to mind
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.

I could have sworn rings of Saturn wasn’t free

Yeah, the question for me is “are they shoving those things you can purchase down your throat every 2 minutes?” because I find that disgusting.

I know Holocure isn’t, but my gut reaction to F2P is to steer clear.
I wouldn’t put Path of Exile in that bucket. The cosmetics and stash upgrades are there but they don’t push at all.
They’re all way too expensive though. I’d have bought way more if they were lower and enjoyed the game more for it.

Which is why I avoid them
Grimm’s Hollow. It’s free and has 0 micro transactions. Enioy my friend:]
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”.
