Freemium: Difference between revisions

Unlike games that use [[Microtransactions]], Freemium games have a binary distinction between those who pay and those who do not: you're either Free, or you're Premium. This tends to limit the [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]] effect--if you can only pay a fixed amount, you can't out-pay the other people who are paying. That's not to say that the two payment methods can't be combined--there are plenty of Freemium games that also feature [[Microtransactions]].

 

 

If the game's marketing plays up features in the paid version of the game while advertising it as "Free", you probably have an [[Allegedly Free Game]] on your hands.
