I've been playing a lot of free-to-play games recently, but I'm starting to wonder if they're really free. I mean, sure, you don't have to pay to download or play them, but there seem to be a lot of hidden costs and in-app purchases. So, is free-to-play really free?

    Free-to-play games offer players the opportunity to install and engage in gameplay without any initial cost.

    Some games, like Quake Live by id Software, incorporate in-game advertising as a means of generating revenue.

    Once a player has entered the game, they are presented with various options to purchase additional content.
