As a (non game) developer, I can say, thay free to play is instantly dead on arrival for me.
The moment something is known to become or becomes free to play is the moment I lose all interest.
The dishonesty in the system itself is what makes this unbearable for me.
Developers need to eat, Managers need to eat, Marketeers need to eat... And sometimes psychologists doing evil mindtricks and supporting gambling addictions need to eat too... Or buy a lambo, or two.
I don't care whether it's only cosmetic or not, I have and will never support that business model
