Dude, you’ve spent 400 bucks on this game and yet you still lost to that level 1 with poop gear, what a pay-to-win noob.

Pay to win

When you can pay real money to gain advantage in a game.

"Free to play" games like League of legends, being able to pay real life money to earn faster in-game currency, earn faster and more chimps and runes, combined with rune pages. Making it pay to win.

pay-to-win

Pay to win means, for $$$ you can by power ups which are not available in game any other way. I

If these items can not be obtained in anyway that does not involve money, and they are essential to winning, then the game is pay-to-win..

pay-2-win

Games where someone who pays with real money has such a huge advantage, that its literally impossible for a free2player to keep up.

Guy A: look, i got this ring with +25% attack power.
Guy B: cool, where did you get it?
Guy A: you have to buy it from the item shop.
Guy B: you wanna sell it?
Guy A: i can't, it's not tradeable.
Guy B: are you serious? such a pay-2-win game...
