maybe that's the worse decision you can make. instead i suggest not having a level limit and then having pacing between them where it doesn't get harder the more you level up. on top of my mind the ...

Really? How much did you pay for your copy of Halo & Overwatch? How much did you pay for your copy of Apex Legends?

how much did you pay for league of legends?

how much did you pay for dota 2?

how much did you pay for warframe?

how much did you pay for path of exile?

how much did you pay for the world of tanks/warships/etc?

all of those are free to play game which aren't pay to win and doesn't have a battle pass while still making pofit and gaining money.

as i said before, battle pass/loot boxes are really not the only way to make a profit

@BallClipper I mean, POE is a grindfest that allows you to improve your actual gear, so not entirely applicable. I've been out of WoT for quite some time, but back in the day, it was very much Pay to Win... As for LoL, Dota 2, & Warframe, I am not familiar, but this was both fun & informative.

league of legends, dota 2, as well as world of _____ all have paid boosting services provided by 3rd parties. PoE has real money transactions via 3rd party. The only competitive content in Warframe is pvp (to my knowledge), in which case you can buy desirable vaulted primes with silver which is real world currency. These are all pay to win mechanics.

Lastly, there is no such thing as a free to play game. You spend money, you invest time, or both. The time you play a game, is time that you could have spent making money. As such, the time you play is a financial loss to you, the consumer.
