Who plays Free to Play games? I do not pay attention to anything that's free to play. My basic presumption is that they're rubbish titles. Especially the shooters.
Same. Even with the new Tribes I was irritated that vehicles and classes were hidden behind pay walls. It rewards those that pay rather than those that play. Same with AOE Online. I loved the previous games but the F2P model somehow ended up dramatically more expensive than a normal game if you bought all the content. F2P games are generally complete scams, though Valve proves to be one of the exceptions to the rule.

I'd much rather pay for a game outright. I simply don't trust or care for F2P games, which generally cost more (perversely), have lower quality and could disappear at any moment. Same with MMOs - I have no interest in paying monthly for a game. I don't have a problem with hybrids like Diablo III or Guild Wars though.

I generally prefer singleplayer games anyway.
