I'm reminded of that scene in Toy Story where Buzz has a breakdown and is dressed as a woman, only to get a slap from Woody that brings him back to reality :lol:

I am wondering where the revenue is going to come from? Free to play sounds fun but how do they pay for development?

Money upfront is the inherent problem with F2P for both sides...

I do not might paying for games. It would be good to have a demo that has an in app purchase to unlock the full game.

The final price is what stops them being sold. Sell them cheaply enough and piracy is dead. That is why I buy second hand games much of the time. I get the game legally and at the price that suits my time for playing it.
