p2w has many meanings, buying progess is one of those meaning and in APB you can buy progress and endgame weapons
Merged.
“Pay to win” essentially means that you can progress further, faster, through a game or win more often or more quickly by spending real-world money on various things relating to a game's monetization system.
for everybody saying "APB iS NoT PaYtoWin" here is the DEFINITION of pay to win
now tell me that we understand p2w wrong.
besides i think i just found the problem here. most players leave because of premium and this buy stuff but tryhards who pay money into the game most likely protect the paid content with bad arguments like
"just get a job" which sounds just stupid to me.
This is just funny because peoples who try to protect a system like this are likely to destroy their own fav game
btw did you ever see an p2w game be big or loved by any peoples? now look at CS:GO look at RocketLeague Valorant League of Legends all games which are VERY popular you know what they dont have?
exactly pay2win.
Okay, now lets look at CoD you guys know when the game started to flop really bad? ^^ when devs decided to put thousands of DLC´s and lootboxes in! and there are many other examples.
The majority of peoples will NOT play a game where you can progess 2x faster with a paid subscription and where you need to paid for making ur game more playable!
I can tell ya what players do when they see games being like this. they leave. Look at the steam reviews look at all the players who leaved the game and ask them why! 90% will tell you because that game
was so much p2w and that premium stuff leeched all their fun.
And still some of you tell me Premium is okay? These weapons are good? seriously when you stay like this than you can play the game alone someday with only payers because noone will stay with things like this like the rest of the community that quit the game.
