Gamer Limit writes: "Free Realms is not for those of you who need headshots, hulking space marines and sniper rifles. It is also not for anyone expecting a free World of Warcraft. It is a very polished MMO that gives something a little different to the usual fare for older gamers like myself, and is pretty much the best free online game out there that parents and children can play together. The four million sign-ups versus those who play regularly is a debate for the future (or perhaps in the comments below?). What I can say is I have so far thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Free Realms world, for me it is an escape from the usual type of game I play, something I would never pay for off the shelf".
A lot has happened in gaming, especially free-to-play gaming, over the last decade. Nobody could predict just how prevalent it’s become, and how some of the biggest games on the planet – League of Legends, Fortnite: Battle Royale, World of Tanks, and more – are all free-to-play.
