Those of us reading the 'tea leaves' have known that f2p was the future (no matter how much we railed against it). It's so ironic than... But I guess in this world it makes sense, that 'free' games make a ridiculous amount of money more that 'pay' games. Just shows how easily people are fooled.

I still don't believe "FTP is the future." I think it is more a self-fulfilling prophesy of Marketing 101 ditto-heads.

If tripe is all that's on the menu, people buy tripe. Doesn't mean it tastes good.

Of course people are easily fooled, just like they think meanwhile, that they would save something, if they buy big packs of stuff, where they need just a single item of - but they take a "buy 3, get one free" offer and think, they have saved 33%, while in fact they paid 100% more than necessary and have now 2 items more, where they are not likely to ever use them - be it because technology is advancing and by the time, where they would need it, they rather go and buy the modern version instead. Or if that is not the case, you can expect that the "buy 3, get one free" offer is at least 50% overpriced, to compensate - so you bought 3, and paid for 3 - you saved nothing at all, but have bought 2 items more than you really need - that is how distorted the customer view on sales is nowadays.
