The gaming industry is slowly turning to the trend of releasing free-to-play games rather than subscription-based ones. But is this really the best thing for gamers?
MAJOR ORDER: Helldivers, it's time to choose between liberating Choohe or Penta. Depending on your choice, you will receive either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher.
(And you'll save the citizens. Don't forget the citizens.)

Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom only came to enrich the storyline of the base game, the Pan civilization, and Yaesha.
I like the game a lot. I would like the outside world to be a little more detailed open and varied but overall it’s a really good game and I understand they are limited by their budget and team size. For a lower priced game it’s worth more than they charge
Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.
Isn't this a better and easier work around?...
There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.
Go play Planetside 2, Dragon Nest, Vindictus, Firefall, Tribes:Ascend, Blacklight:Retribution, Team Fortress 2, Arma 2 X, and about 200 MMO's of all Gaming genres and you tell me!
F2P is Great, I get to sample a game and if it Blows I wasted No money but if it's Great like Firefall or Planetside 2 then Bam out comes the Credit Card to buy customizations or upgrade faster.
Sure F2p doesn't work with ever game or model as that needs to be addressed before Development but when F2P is there from day 1 it works!
While yes you still have games with Subscriptions models but they better provide an overwhelming amount of content and services like World of Warcraft!
and then you have the buy once and play for ever model like Guild Wars 2 which very cool as $60 bucks gets you 300 hours of playing time and the Devs are still cranking out new content!
The big problem with F2P is the "Pay to Win" problem; when games allow for accessing the entire game without paying, then I don't mind them.
