p2w 

Short for pay to win, in the sense that in order to 'win' a free to play game, such as Maplestory, you need to pay for various advantages to 'win' ingame.

P2W 

Pay To Win. when you are paying for advantage which normal players don't have access to unless they either pay too or will have to grind very long (weeks and months).

you can buy a weapon in a game which has 50 damage, while you can buy same type of weapon for REAL money which has 60 damage. that is P2W
you can buy a weapon for 10000 gold, for each 10-15min match you get 100 gold, while you can buy it for real money instantly.

P2W 

In-Game Purchases, also known as the death to any game. (can be referred as Pay to Win/P2W) This system works in games which have items or gear that cannot be reached without real-life currency. In-Game Purchases also tend to make the game worse and completely useless in general.

"Garolina™! Customize and make your own character! Create worlds and make countless friendships!"
society: *proceeds to install the game*
"The game requires you to pay 200 bucks in order to do literally anything. If you don't you'll look like a retard."
society: *procceds to uninstall the game*
society: P2W, bitch.

P2W 

Short for Pay2Win
A cash-grabbing game where you can get advantages no matter how minimal these are over other players by throwing out money to rise your chance of winning

A: "Dude, how do I loose all the time against you even tho we are even in skill? I started to play at the same time and spend the same amount of hours as you!"
B: "I payed some money"
A: "So you're basically cheating by throwing real money into the trash can?"
B: "Well... Basically yes, it's called P2W or Pay 2 Win."
