      One minor correction, I believe The Sims 4 went F2P at some point. They’re funded entirely by expansion packs now.

        Yeah, I thought about changing it, but…the problem is that while the base game is playable now for $0, the overwhelming bulk of the game’s content is in expansion packs. Like, I don’t think that people really buy and play just the base game; it’d be more like a demo.

          That’s fair. Though, by that logic would you consider something like that one Final Fantasy MMO F2P or not? I believe it lets you play all the old content for free and only charges for the last (few?) expansions.

            I would call it stradling between F2P and Subscription.

            Got 6 months worth of free playtime before I got a sub, at which point I felt more guilty not to.
