The problem with the free-to-play (FTP) model is not that it exists. The problem is that some publishers who are in love with FTP implement the system in a manner that screws the player instead benefitting him or her. PopCap’s Bookworm Heroes is one example of a great game that’s dragged down by its FTP elements. It’s too bad we can’t just pay $1.99 and avoid stressing out over coins, pets, heroes, and the rest of it.
