The metaphor doesn’t really work for this one. “Pay to win“ implies using real-world money to progress instead of in-game currency. If Earth is a game, then all our money is “in-game” and “pay to win“ would mean you could progress further by using money from beyond Earth
It kinda does work, short a few edge cases of extreme luck it’s impossible to traditionally earn the in game currency in game sufficient to really thrive. It’s all dependent on what game package of boosters and starting cash your parents could afford. It’s out of game currency in the context of your life in the game.
Also heavily spawn dependent. Some places you get free tutorials, some your parents need you to work and in some you are not allowed to take the tutorials at all
Well, more like pay to live. Pay to play?
