I avoid F2P games like the plague now. Even if it was paid before. It’s just not ever worth it. Even if it’s not predatory now, the only way they can make money is through season passes, P2W mechanics, or ads/data selling. All unsustainable imo.

Only exception is Counter Strike. Went F2P but there are no P2W mechanics unless you count agent skins.
