- droopyEyelids 6y agoA FTP game can do a TON to encourage people to download apps that'll never be opened without committing clickfraud.
- AndrewGreen 6y agoGosh I'm old. Spent a while there trying to figure out how File Transfer Protocol could be relevant to clickfraud.
- geerlingguy 6y agoAh, me too. For those still confused, "Free To Play"
- nocman 6y agoWell, don't feel bad. I did the exact same thing, except I had the benefit of your post and its anscestor replies, so I wasted less time. You don't have to be old -- we still use FTP all the time at my job. Of course, whenever we have a say we use some secure variant, but you don't always have a say (no matter how much you yell, grumble, sermonize about the dangers of insecure tech, etc). Of course, you probably meant you feel old because "FTP" didn't immediately register to you as "Free To Play". Well, I can't help you there, because by that standard I guess I'm pretty old too. :-D
- smolder 6y agoI usually see it written F2P for free to play, which cuts down on ambiguity.
- wil421 6y agoI thought the same. An FTP game? What have I been missing.
- Tepix 6y agoThe correct acronym is F2P, not FTP for „free to play“
