FleshEatingZipper says: "I like to think that evil video game publishers meet once a month to discuss different possibilities on how to ruin fun. One brilliant idea they came up with is free-to-play, a concept where consumers don’t pay for the game up front, but have the ability to purchase items in-game. It sounds all hunky-dory, but when they mess with my favorite franchises like The Sims, I tend to get a little PMSy. "
Basically, you can get in for free but you're gonna be dropping cash somewhere along the line.
