免费开玩


Definition from 知乎:
Free-to-play:游戏本体免费,但(未来)可能包含微交易或DLC付费,而free则是完全免费。
在旧版Steam上,Free-to-play常被译为“免费开玩”

Example sentence(s):
  • 网络游戏免费模式(以下简称免费游戏;英语:Free-to-play,缩写F2P或FtP)通常是指与网络游戏计时模式相对的游戏模式,比起计时模式,免费游戏最大的特点是不再据玩家的在线时间而收费。而实际上,免费游戏并非不对玩家收取费用,只是从计时收费转向特殊道具和服务性收费。其中尤以出售道具为多,称之为IB(item billing)模式,即俗称的课金游戏。也有一些游戏是原始意义上的免费游戏,即完全不向玩家收取费用,如一些网页游戏,但虽然符合免费定义,仍有可能会有广告。免费游戏模式存在于世界范围,但其占有比例以东亚市场居多,不过许多欧美游戏厂商也开始流行免费增值的销售方式。 从上可以看出,Free-to-play(F2F或FTP)游戏,并非完全免费,仍存在一定形式的微交易,因此和Free游戏是由区别的。 因此,Free-to-play译为“免费开玩”更为妥当。 - 维基百科
