Many criticisms stem from concerns about fairness, pay-to-win mechanics, and player experience in free-to-play games.

I was checking the meta critic ratings for some of the F2P titles I enjoy, and noticed a lot of criticism. Most folks claim the games are designed to be paid to win, especially Warframe. It seems many reviewers lack a real understanding of the games themselves. Why do you think reskinned, easy-to-play, and DLC-heavy titles like COD: AW receive high scores? I’m seeing people avoid games unless they’re from that style.
You addressed your query partially. COD isn't worth winning—it's mainly cosmetic upgrades for players. However, some games do offer genuine advantages like enhanced weapons or abilities.
