Now Battlefront 2 : I loved the beta, it's a beautiful game and they really fixed alot of the issues I had with the first one. That said I won't be buying it ... BF2 is absolutely pay to win; I won't support that. Shame really .... they could have gone a cosmetic route and I'd of opened my wallet.

ESO - Feels like most of the money they make comes from these.
Trove - Have been there from start, in all aspects of the game for various things so w/e.
Atlas Reactor - Wouldn't be surprised if these are the only reason the game is still up.
Fortnite - Pretty hardcore p2w for a btp game.
Heroes of the Storm - All cosmetic, can be earned at a fast rate by playing regularly.
Overwatch - IMO these act kind of like a donation to the game if you feel inclined to support it again. Like how you can no longer get duplicates.
Realm of the Mad God - Best pets are found in eggs that can be purchased with real money or very rarely found as drops. Pets greatly increase combat efficiency so kind of p2w'ish?
Forge of Gods - Best units are found in most expensive rng boxes that are extremely overpriced imo.
SMITE - Loot boxes done right imo.
Paladins - Loot boxes done right imo.
Gems of War - Best units found in most expensive boxes that are extremely overpriced, system designed to empty your wallet.
Brawl of Ages - Fun loot box system. Can be earned by playing for free and you can sell the items you earned for free on the steam market unless they changed that recently.
Card packs count or no? - Elder Scrolls Legends, Hearthstone, Hand of the Gods, Minion Masters
Doesn't have any rng loot box - Albion Online
The first cash shop MMO was not every MMO back in the year it launched. Look how that worked out.
A LAZY angle from a developer is NOT the answer,it might be a cheap cost effective way to raise revenue,but only short term,in the long term people just quit and your game makes no money.
The problem is it leads to a lot of bad game designs across the gaming genres.So what is happening is that devs are making low cost minimal games to support getting them out fast,within a year or before it is ready,just tag on early access,people will buy and an easy profit is made.
Th developers using these modern gimmicks don't really need to have any success after the initial push on sales,they already made a killing just selling the game.Look at this game ,since 2016,so around 1 1/2 years put into this game,that is a real crap effort,so yeah this cash shop thing is just icing on the cake.
