Does anyone else not play Free/F2P games just because they are free?

It depends on whether I'm actually interested in the game or not.

when i read the title i guessed you were going to talk about Free 2 Play mechanics and i was going to reply about my paid backlog which is what you actually said.

Welp, there's Dota, but most of my friends only play CS:GO on Steam. Ironically, I don't have it.

My friends like this crappy F2P CS:S ripoff called Combat Arms. I tried it, and it's shit compared to CS:GO or any CS game for that matter. However, I don't play the game because of the annoying microtransactions and overall mediocre gameplay.

Just because the game is free it doesn't mean it is gonna be there forever. Infinite Crisis is shutting down for example. The games you have in your backlog are not gonna go away, however. So, I say play whatever you feel like playing at the moment.

Yes, sometimes. Warframe is one of my mostly played games.

I enjoy TF2 more than i do CS Go but thats my opinion ofcourse :)

Some free to play games can quite suprise u though for me that was when i quit WOW and started playing league of legends for example [but only if ur into these kind of games. As for a replacement MMO i have been enyoing Tera thusfar [lvl 30 atm]

TF2, Magicka WW - of course, if game is interesting I will play. Btw you can spend money almost everywhere in free games. :-)

Yes, I do ignore most F2P just because they are free.
I have hundreds of unplayed(I think, I'm not sure) games in my backlog, I have no time to "waste" on F2Ps. That's what I think in most cases.

Only those that interest me. Which is maybe like 1% of them.

Nope I have a wide variety of games:
Completely F2P
F2P with cash shop
Mixed F2P/P2P
B2P
Subscription based.

So no, I don't understand your prejudice unless P2W irks you (it does for me). I prefer honest and fair, integer monetization a la DOTA2/Unreal Engine 4.

Team Fortress 2 is still by far my favorite game.

I'm spoiled by Dota 2 and PoE so I usually can't stand F2P models in games.

I played Warframe 200 hours..

I will admit, I did have slight interest in Hero's of the Storm, although I don't think I will ever play it. But there's a good chance I will play Overwatch if it's free to play when it comes out. Game looks too fun.

I've played a lot of Hearthstone and been trying out Heroes of the Storm a little. However on Steam I've played Solforge because I got a card pack for it in a humble bundle but apart from that I've not really touched F2P.

Yes I don't mind playing f2p games even if I have a huge backlog, but usually I avoid them 'cause often they are microtransaction ridden and almost "force" you to pay for stuff if you don't want to waste hundreds of hours to get the items/equip/levels/etc ^^

Well yeah, my top 3 played games are F2P...

Only TF2 in rare ocations but only because was not f2p when released and i still think this way.

I don't ignore a game because it's free. I'll play a game if I think it'll be interesting and fun. Usually with a free game there's no risk involved. You get the game and can try it out, if it ends up not interesting you, uninstall. A free game does not mean it'll be a bad game. As others have pointed out, DOTA2, TF2, LoL, Hearthstone, they're all very popular free games that many people find fun and play more than their paid games (Granted, you can put money into each of those games too, but there's no need to).

I also have a backlog that I occasionally get the chance to knock several games out. Free games don't detract from that, but they certainly don't help, so I understand wanting to avoid them for those reasons. I say just play what you enjoy, free or not.

Yep, exactly!

Rift was good. I played it for awhile, before and after it went F2P. I've never played it through Steam though.

I also played TF2 at one point.

TF2 is one of my all-time favorites. :)
