I mean between fortnite, destiny 2,rogue company, Apex legends, etc. Has anybody actually legit put time into doing this?

We all hate the freemium model of gaming but has anyone actually given it a shot?

I played a fair amount of Pirate King Online 2, never got to the endgame though.

Also hundreds of hours into Secret World Legends (not as much as I did The Secret World, though).

Not really. Let It Die the most probably. And even that, I quit as soon as it hit a huge difficulty spike.

Even if I had unlimited funds, the idea of controlling difficulty through just throwing unlimited resources at something is not appealing. It's unrewarding even if you don't spend real money. I gave up cheat codes in general with ps2 cause they just make games boring.

RuneScape was a favorite of mine for years. The free version was junk compared to the $5/month membership, though.

Played a lot of Destiny and was into Brave Frontier for awhile.

Tried SW TOR out recently and it's kind of fun but the graphics make my eyes bleed; I've seen other peoples' screenshots and they look better :|

Wakfu's a freemium mmo, but it's the most friendly to free players of any I've heard about. There's no content lock at all. Paying is primarily for a drop bonus and being able to use multiple characters at once.

Oh, and you can earn premium ingame, once you know what you're doing.

I have like 2000 hours in Warframe and 1000 in TF2 (though I actually bought that game before it went f2p)

I made a ton of platinum (the premium in-game currency) in Warframe, enough to get all the premium skins without paying a dime which is kinda neat

No they aren't? F2p implies a model that involves transactions to fund the games, and tend to be multiplayer experiences. I don't play those games. A free game doesn't have transactions, it's just free. Rarely are online multiplayer games ever completely free, though. I don't play multiplayer games all that much.

played everquest for over a decade as a subscriber. it was to the point were, after my 4th year -yeah lol, i was prepaying 2 years at a time.

never going to do that again. i f2p as a casual. idgaf about account. i just play whenever i want without worrying about optimizing/maximizing return in game. fortnite and bdo/bdm here. bdm took all casual playtime for me. after this year, ill probably move on to other nonmmo games

i get to go back to games i missed like morrowind, oblivion, borderlands series, baldurs gate series, diablo series, and other notable rpgs.

Sure, into lots of games. Up until it becomes pay-to-win. Usually those kinds of games are pretty generous with early game bonuses and XP and such so you feel like you can make good progress playing for free, but at some point you have to sink an unreasonable amount of time into it to accomplish the next goal...or just pay for the bonus outright. Then I give up.

I played Fortnite for a couple seasons with friends, I was invested in that Marvel Heroes Omega before it was immediately scrapped and that pissed me off. I had bought 4 characters, 2 I never even used yet.

a ton of league of legends
a moderate amount of path of exile and mahjong soul

you say "we all hate the freemium model" but uh, I kinda don't? as long as the game isn't designed in a way that makes you need to spend money to play it properly it's basically like getting an actual game for free since all the crazy spenders are subsidizing it for you
