Companies will find a different name ... and go on with the same business model.
Just a naming game ... no real progress, yet.
Clever companies will always find ways, to fool not so clever people. I also think, that most people know, that F2P is not really free.
- hayksaakian 13y agowell I'd rather force abusers into mental gymnastics than allow them to outright lie this could also highlight apps that are truley free
- thesimpsons1022 13y agoespecially for parents who only want their kids to play truly free games.
- Aardwolf 13y agoIf it has a different name, at least it'll be distinguishable.
- monkeyspaw 13y agoWhat does f2p stand for? Although I'm cynical enough to not expect this, things could be partitioned into "grant access to people with no payment on file" and "need payment on file to download this app".

- NortySpock 13y agof2p: free-to-play -- normally with in-game purchases implied.
- watwut 13y agoI would argue it would be ok. There is nothing inherently wrong with apps requiring in app purchases to unlock content or pass paywall. The point is not to label them as free, so the customers can rely on the usual meaning of the word free. And when the app is about to charge money, the customer should be clearly informed it is about to do so, even if he did not turned on "require password before purchase" option. The problem is the deception, not the ability to buy things from inside the app.
