>>717514073You can't be asking that question unironically. Do you even play videogames?
Paid games can be pirated or bought for cheap, and you get all the content right away.
Paid games don't need to make DLC's, and most games don't have many.
People oppose MTX in paid games.
Paid games are NOT designed like freemium grindfests.
Meanwhile freemium games ONLY make money from MTX so they're ALWAYS designed to either break you with boring grind until you start wanting to skip all the work, or to get you addicted with numbers going up until you start excusing more and more frequent payments.
Bought games also have a "limit" of what you actually pay for them. Freemium games don't, and they want it that way.
Most importantly - all freemium shit is designed to eventually shut down and steal your money.
Inb4 you start projecting about big AAA slop because evidently you have little experience with gaming.
