Sure, and I was like that when i was younger too. I played a ton of F2P games because I honestly couldn’t afford the paid games. That said, the whole F2P game market is designed to encourage MTX, so the fun tends to be more diluted unless you pay.
That’s why I have a zero tolerance for it. Yeah, there might be fun games in the mix, but I’d much rather buy my kids a few games that I know will be fun and engaging than try to find the diamonds in the rough. I told them I’ll buy them pretty much any game they want in order to play w/ friends (they need to buy SP games w/ their allowance), but F2P is off the table.
Well, I haven’t played these types of games when I was young. But I have no intention of spending money on microtransactions and the games I’ve chosen have been fun as a f2p player, so they work for me.
As for my kids, they’re still in elementary school and they’ve been raised mostly screen-free, so it’s not something I need to worry about just yet.
