A year after parodying the Xbox One. vs. PlayStation 4 console war, popular animated show South Park has taken on another hot-button issue in video games today: the free-to-play business model.
Last night’s episode featured the clip you see above, wherein the “principles of success” for free-to-play games are outlined. The video hits the nail on the end, and is pretty funny to watch.
“Everyone is doing it. It’s the way things are going!” a character exclaims at the end.
Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with the free-to-play business model. But some examples or less-than-excellent execution have left a bad taste in some players’ mouths.
What do you think about free-to-play? Let us know in the comments below!
