Free-to-play: the concept taking over the gaming industry
Free-to-play games are becoming more popular. The concept has spread across genres and benefits both players and developers.
Free-to-play games are becoming more popular in the gaming industry. NetEnt offers demo games with its award-winning video slots as demos. Sportsbetting is one of the niches where you can't play for free before trying with real money. The best bonus betting sites give their players free bets or match bonuses so they can try it out for an affordable price.
Activision released Call of Duty: Warzone as a free-to-play game. Epic bought Psyonix's game developer and made Rocket League available as free to play on their website. The game was so popular that the Epic Store servers couldn't handle the demand.
The games industry is split into two camps. Some believe that games should be bought before they are played, and others believe they should become similar to services. Free-to-play games are growing, but some believe subscription services will become commonplace.
