I've basically never seen a free to play title cost less than a paid one (for similar content). Typically free to play has some sort of completely uncapped money-sink as well. Given that Sims 4 already costs $500+ for all content, I can only surmise that Sims 5 will cost thousands for the same amount of content.

Yup, my wife has spent far more on Lost Ark than she ever spent on WoW..

I hate F2P, so I'll be passing on this, but the model does work.
