Lmao, I got a Marvel's Snap ad while watching 😂😂
Mw2 2022 is probably the most confusing cod unlocking attachments were just fucked
I'd disagree with Warframe being "Pay to win" basically the only things that you HAVE TO Pay for with real money are cosmetic items mostly that are just colour pallets. Everything else though you're able to get with the loot in game
I think it says something that a lot of these are EA games and it hurts me to see Blizzard on here they've really fallen as a company.
Mario Kart Tour… Septic tank? Am I the only person who heard that? Not sepia, septic tank. Can we get a new voice-over person please?
If you think that nba 2k18 is bad, then you`re gonna be floored by nba2k24. Imagine 2k18's pay-to-win mechanisms on steroids mixed with EPD's…. on crack and you're 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
In summary stay away from mobile games! 😮
I'm surprised NBA 2K as a series didn't make number one on this list.
Diablo Immortal is so bad, to max a single character costs over 1 million lol
The 2 worse things that ever happened in the gaming industry was:
1) Companies realized that people would give them even more money so they can be better than other people.
2) Developers realized that players would still play incomplete games and they could fix issues or add content later…….probably……maybe
what i am hearing from a bunch of these is Avoid PvP
I’m surprised Gran Turismo 7 wasn’t on this list.
I’m disappointed call of duty mobile not on this list
Beatstar is pretty disgusting these days use to be a great game it’s a shame
3000+ hours in warframe never spent a penny of real cash…
I'm surprised lord's mobile wasn't on this list
Really? No Raid SL?
Why is Warframe on this list
Destiny 2 should be on the list
For a game not many will know and something that isn't a mobile game with real time waiting periods, there's a game called Freestyle Basketball. Primarily, Freestyle Basketball 2. While a lot of that game can be played and won against real players without a single dime for a free game, it doesn't help that a lot of improving characters you have or getting better characters mostly required buying them when they come out or wait half a year for them to become available in limited capacity in a free event. Even getting some of the best items for free doesn't help since a lot of the stats for characters comes down to luck of the draw
The only game I play a lot is DC Universe Online. People complain it's play-to-win. They obviously haven't seen this video.
Calling Warframe's monetization "shady" b/c you have to grind for the things you want is ridiculous. The premium currency in the game is easily obtainable, allows for a plethora of ways to get it, and there's so much to do in the game if you ever grind for dozens of hours it's b/c you're playing it wrong or you're at the end game after playing for thousands of hours. FFS some of ya'll just want everything for free and can't imagine why a company has to charge customers for stuff.
One of the worst parts about pay to win games like NBA 2k18 is that some gamers will defend them because "games are expensive to make" but then you look at footage of the games and they have literal sponsorships. So no, they don't need the pay to win mechanics to make their development costs back.
Warframe is not p2w
Marvel Avenger's Alliance
Vanguard Zero should on list. People pay for collect cards and build stronger decks.
PvZ 2 should of made the list. The game didn't start out as pay to win, but when EA wanted to make it pay to win in 2018 they fired the devloper of the game who was hesitant on the idea.
"리니지"
Marvel winter??
Where in gods name is Star Wars galaxy of heroes? If you want a galactic legend (which you pretty much need to compete) you have to collect 16 characters and almost maximize them. If you have none of these characters, they can cost up to 3-400 dollars just to unlock. That doesn’t even count gear which could be between 100-200 dollars. You would also need mods. Which if you have none could cost like 50 dollars. Plus other materials that would factor in like zetas. And you have to do that for 16 character. Just to unlock 1 character. And than you have to put gear, mods, level up, zetas. A galactic legend, if you want to unlock it when you start playing could cost up to 10 grande. And there are 8 galactic legends in the game 😂
Edit: I completely forgot about relics. Which would probably cost 1-200 dollars per character. So add 3 grand more.
Question why isn't raid shity legons on this list
Clash Royale has horrifically gone Pay to Win and it pisses me off to no end.
Fun fact warframe ISNT pay to win only u can't get ingame is skins that u have to pay for but guess what u can sell items to players to get FREE PLAT and not spend anything ingame 😒😒😒 please research next time for real not just play 5 minutes and assume it's a p2w game
Warframe isn't p2w. It's pay to not wait. The only thing about Warframes monetization that's shitty is weapon and frame slots
