Sometimes it really amazes me that we can pay $5 or so to play a meticulous recreation of Medieval Madness as much as we want for basically forever, and the value there is tremendous. I think the same thing of games like Grand Theft Auto V, where there's this enormous world to explore at your leisure with potentially hundreds of hours worth of content, yet they ask the same $60 to play as much as you want with no limitations as you pay for a linear action game that's over in fewer than 10.I think a lot of the F2P business practices are really geared toward more casual gamers who aren't really used to the concept of getting such great value for your money. They don't play a lot of games so they don't have much in the way of expectations of what they should be getting for their money. Sure, it's exploitative in a sense, but when you compare the money people spend on other leisure activities, it's not necessarily objectively wrong. It's just a different way of approaching something that so many of us already have preconceived expectations for.</blockquote>
