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.

A game that looks like it is free, but you almost have to buy something to progress. Used as an adjective. also ahem- EA GAMES.

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 means pay 2 win. Its mostly used in video games, *cough* *cough* *ea*. Most likely in the form of loot crates or skins. A game full of microtransactions is a pay2win game

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.
