"Pay-to-win" or "P2W", is a pejorative term for a game that offers any advantage that can be obtained faster or exclusively via commercial transactions over gameplay rewards or the impact of the player's own performance.
This market practice is seen negative because it destroys the sportiveness of games, rewarding mediocre players who look for an easy way to beat the competition or the challenge, instead of promoting fair play.
Imagine, for example, an Archery competition where the archers could optionally buy the right to use laser-dot scope aims in their bows Every archer would look to exploit that artificial advantage, instead of actually improving themselves at the sport.

"I dont play pay-to-win games. It's a waste of effort and I rather use the money to buy real games".

Get the Gamble And Win mug.Winning is nice and all, but you gotta be pretty desperate for it if you're getting shots in your neck. Hopefully if someone told you that shooting heroin in your neck would get you a ring, you wouldn't be desperate enough to start doing it, though all of a sudden the same guys getting shots in their neck who don't judge would start calling other guys junkies who got the heroin shots, which is hypocrisy.
The guy shot up five times in the neck to get a title, he must think if you're not winning that way, you're not trying.
