f2s

f2s or "free to suffer", it's a psychological commercial extortion technique used by f2p games (or Bethesda).
the game will be free to play but it will be horribly grindy. thanks to slow conditioning (boiling frog) most f2p players do not realize anymore how strange it is that they have to pay to move at a normal speed or have to choose between killing a million boar or paying 2,99 for a "booster pack".

they're free to suffer until they pay.

prime examples of this are the systems in games like the elder scrolls online or paladins.
"veterans" often use excuses like "the servers need to be paid" and "dude, just grind a little longer".
completely forgetting that millions of games in other genre's do not need to use these techniques and rely on skins or proper DLC just fine.

player 1: dude just buy the insert item and it's a lot of fun!
player 2: i thought this was f2p not f2s. i ain't paying 70€ in insert item just to not suffer from this censored mechanic...

When you get so bored that you type all of your function keys backwards. Might as well keep typing in combinations to get new definitions that will probably say almost the exact same thing.

guy 1: I'm bored
guy 2: did you try f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 f9 f10 f11 f12 yet?
guy 1: yeah
guy 2: did you try typing in f12 f11 f10 f9 f8 f7 f6 f5 f4 f3 f2 f1?
guy 1: no, I still need to.
