Many F2P games are worth their price of $0.
Warframe. Rocket League. TF2. Counter-Strike.
The games often become unworthy of the price the moment you spend anything on them tho.
Hey, some of us paid for TF2 via the Orange Box. :P
I paid for all but Warframe 🥹
Ok grandpa, let’s get you to bed.
Jokes aside, I didn’t even know there was a paid version of Counter Strike.
Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive all had to be paid for. Only the original mod (1.5 and under) and Global Offensive/CS2 have been available freely (and in GO's case, it came later just like TF2 and RL).
I was livid about 1.6 going retail back in the day. I had been playing the same game for free, as a mod, for at least 2 years prior to that.
Even if you take my spending (which was in the hundreds) on Warframe into account, it was still worth the thousands of hours I put into the game. It's really just a matter of whether you enjoy the game enough to justify the spending.
