The thing about pay to win is everyone knows what its is and stays away from it unless they are the type who is fine with paying to win. And that's fine. It just makes the game not for me. However it opens the door for that format to infest other games. Look at eso. If you sub 15 a month you get a crafting bag that had infinite space which is massive and almost needed to play the game reasonably. But it's actually an interesting argument as games like world of warcraft require you to buy the game every 2 years and you have to pay to play. But you get nothing. At least eso has a f2p option after buying the game for full price. And they make the sub super rewarding.
