Re: At what point are you willing to spend money on a ftp game?
I see comparisons between a full price (singleplayer) game, and a more mmo type game that needs money in the long run to sustain the developer/server costs.

Re: At what point are you willing to spend money on a ftp game?

You could just as easily say that developers who sell games for an upfront fee are withholding the entire game from you. Why does the payment model even need to improve the game? If it's implementation is… -
Re: At what point are you willing to spend money on a ftp game?
I guess for me its really hard, even if I really like the game and developer (Offensive Combat/u4ia as an example). These games are constantly changing, so that weapon you bought two months ago might be overshadowed by something newer. Or the hair piece gets bought by so many, you can no longer distinguish your avatar in a…
