Well yeah one's pretending to be free while the other actually is

Big difference between the two

Free to play almost always means you get a small portion of the experience and you basically have to pay a subscription fee for the full experience in microtransactions. Meanwhile the other one is a full game that normally costs money but is free for some sort of promotion.

“Free to play” usually means reaching a point where you’re “encouraged” to spend real money.

Good chance that the free to play game is poor quality or contains huge amounts of in-game monetization that disrupt gameplay where a 100% discount means a premium game you are getting for free.

Jack Reacher: The cheaper ones, are the ones you end up paying the most

Tbh 90% of my steam library is free games.

Random NPC - "but it's the same thi..." Me covering the NPC's mouth with my finger - "shhh, you just wouldn't get it"

Free to play usually means freemium anyways. So like pay to win

Free to play is normally free. But to have the full experience and fun you end up paying hundreds.

Most free to play are full of in app purchases while all regular game marketed down to free mostly likely won't have in game purchases

Looks inside 10 more dlc to complete the game

100% off feels cooler because you don’t have to pay for a game you usually would have to pay for

Free to play reminds me of The Sims 4. Where you can play the base game for free but you have to pay $1000+ for a complete gaming experience😂😂😂 EA is a sham fr

Can’t find nthn like this anymore tho😭

Free to play implies not free to continue to play.
2
One means in-game purchases and the other means all inclusive.
Well BluePlusSymbol, I doubt you got Shellshocklive for free ;D (Dont return, nothing has changed)

Fr though. I wanna know that it once had monetary value.

To be fair, most free to play games are either priced like that for a reason, or filled with ads or micro transactions. But a 100% discount on a $25 or more game? Now that's a steal!

Several of the best games I’ve ever played were the free games of the month on PlayStation. Played the hell out of Nine Sols recently.

The fact that it originally cost something implies higher quality
before my employed days, free games were my holy grail, honestly i have more fond memories with free games cause friends could just pick it up too 🤔

Marketing is a king , showing us huge reduction from 29.99 to only 9.99 when in fact it's value is still 80% less will make you want to buy it and quickly 😁

That’s because free to play games are usually pretty bad but you’ll have a some good ones. While the ones that where sold at first then become free over time are ones that usually had a lot of work put into them and the only reason it’s free is because it’s been a long time since it was released.
That's my playatation and steam and epic libraries right there lol

Precisely. Free for a limited period means it's probably actually free. Free to play means freemium. In other words, a mobile game on a non-mobike platform. Who wants that? Unless you're Warframe. All's forgiven if you're Warframe.

Illusion of value

I once found a game called House Flipper in 100% discount and I got it IMMEDIATELY. I don't even think my computer can handle it but at least I have it

😂 Reminds me of 8 simple rules... "But it's 80 % off". Yeees!! But that means it's still 20 % on. (when you weren't going to buy it in the first place).
Tbf it very highly reduces the chance that the zero-dollar game is actually a freemium type of game Haha

One your playing a free game n the other your playing a 25$ game for free
1
One is a +1, the other is not...

Depends on the game.
hearts of iron 4 that gets a bajillion million percent off sale every 2 weeks
So fucking true 😂
Free to play ≠ free to enjoy.

It used to be a big difference once you play... but since corporations started releasing full price titles with pay2win in-game shops and gambling/loot boxes like free to play games used to finance themselves it doesn't really matter anymore. Quality at release date like how bug-free it is can also not be determined by price/studio anymore
"Free to play" are money vampires. "100% Off" simply gave up...

Haha so true on steam
