an unintended side effect (perhaps) might be that the F2P industry sucks away real talent that could've been working on actual contributions to the gaming genre. Imagine if there is a limit on developer talent/creativity, and that instead of being spent on creating psychological manipulations, they spent their efforts on pushing the boundaries of a genre. How much better off would it be, if there were more games like braid, or FTL, etc, instead of yet another junk game with In-App-Purchases. I m hoping the indie scene will revive creative gaming.
