If they're getting money through micro transactions they can charge absolutely precisely £0. I can't be bothered paying for a game that isn't complete.

I'm also not paying for a game that might be unplayable in a few months due to lack of players.

Nowadays it's $70 pricetag + paid battlepass + micro transactions + paid expansions. All this money yet every triple A game is getting shittier and shitter.

My rule of thumb is to avoid all F2Ps like the plague. If it's free, you are the product. I learned that lesson the hard way when I was younger, and the F2P market was still in its infancy.
