After all the recent controversy regarding money and greed in the gaming industry, perhaps we should take a step back and reflect on the original pay to win games...

It's called pay to access, and unfair difficulty.

Pushing more coins into the arcade machines won't make your characters better, it only gives you more retries against its often unfairly designed levels that require you to fail to know what's coming.

So I'd say it's apples and oranges.
