I think a lot of commentators expect from a f2p game to behave like a pay upfront game. Game and bizmodel need to be in sync. Both models have game designs that work better in the respectable monetization model. F.e. Payupfront games usually have flashy graphics. F2P often use tcg mechanics. I wonder why you would like to pay up front for a promise rather than trying to play a game for free and if and only if you think it is worth it pay some money. I believe we can all vote with our money which model we believe is best. Let the market forces figure out which model will be dominant in the next ten years.
