    But that iant a rumour? He wins at a co-op or singleplayer game against ai enemies.

    You always over exaggerate everything. Heck, I've played with him and his cousin and done fine if that helpsm -.-

    you must be a real joy for creationists I think they're hiring people who think like this these days.

    it's not statistical, ergo not comparable, ergo not evidence.

    and even if it were you're missing the point completely that getting boosts allows you to win more.

    How about you give me your statistical evidence that people who pay for boosts and such win more In this game?

    I don't have any.

    note: this is the correct course of action when you really don't have statistical evidence.

    I can however provide you with my personal experience on the matter.

    and enlighten you as to why there are so few defenders of the "p2win" theory versus so many defenders of the "f2p ISN't p2w" theory.

    I gave you my personal (and other's) personal experience within the actual game on question, and you just argued I can't do that because no statistics, when in fact youre attempting to do the same thing. It just bugs me, sorry.

    Anyway- p2p would be a game you purchased or pay a subscription for.. So normally they're not pay2win- unless they're pay to play and include micro transactions that effect gameplay. XD

    As long as I can win or have fun (preferably both, but fun is required) I'm fine with it being p2w. It's even better if I can win in a p2w game!

    Also, tatsu, I downloaded Portal 2 last night so I don't need to go home and rethink my life! Hurray!

    @squishypon3 @tunsel11 take note.

    this is the important bit.

    how fine you are personally with playing in a pay2win game.

    now what I won't allow is you making generalizations.

    because as soon as you start to look at something by the millions, that one friend you have becomes irrelevant face to face with the crushing trend.

    and trust me a company's boss is VERY interested in what trends have to say.

    I'll say it's that alone that influences his/her decisions.

    So if your game is free to play, you can thank the industry for how much money it racks in. And hopefully stop believing it's hats that are raking in the millions.

    I actually really dont like pay to win games, they annoy me. But many games I've mentioned I don't feel are pay2win. What games I consider pay2win? A whole ton of mobile and Facebook games, as well as online internet/flash game mmos.

    well it's a sad truth you must bear with.


    refer to this to determine if a game is Pay2win or not :
    this means find out if there is an element that isn't STRICLTY ( and when I say strictly, I mean take that biznatch to infinity dawg!) non-cosmetic, in the purchase roster. if there is it's P2W

    Obviously you aren't taking the "pay to win" definition literally then.

    if you're talking about any existing definition I raise you wikipedia :
    Otherwise I am writing it with the assistance of the freaking pope's cat.

    Games are boring to me now, I'm only hyped for like one coming up, and only play two right now (bouncing between WoW and TF2)

    Probably because there's too much going on that's the same.

    significan is non-quantifiable as per it's definition :

    sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention; noteworthy
