Once Human hailed as \u201cleast pay to win\u201d game by community Once HumanThe current free-to-play gaming landscape is shifting toward a pay-to-win scheme, but players believe Once Human should be receiving more attention for its healthy monetization practices. Once Human has piqued the interest of players tired of wallet-walloping schemes. Since its release, the game has garnered acclaim, with streamers like Cohh Carnage singing its praises. During a recent stream, Cohh hailed Once Human as a \u201c99% not pay-to-win game\u201d, with the only paid functionality being a base building mechanic. As he puts it, \u201cEverything else is cosmetic.\u201d The Once Human player community has echoed Cohh\u2019s sentiment, heralding Starry Studios\u2019 latest as the least pay-to-win free game in recent memory. Players have lauded Once Human\u2019s fair approach to in-game purchases on Reddit. \u201cThis is the least pay to win game release I\u2019ve seen in years for a free to play game and it\u2019s not being talked enough,\u201d remarked one. With a modest subscription model and an unobtrusive shop interface, Once Human makes spending feel optional rather than obligatory. Fans in the comments went as far as to say that they had to \u201chunt through to find the shop on a free game\u201d or that they \u201cdidn\u2019t even know there was a shop.\u201d This approach to monetization is even encouraging some players to spend money. As one player puts it, \u201cMy wallet spoke for me, I already spent 100\u20ac in this game.\u201d The numbers speak volumes too. According to recent stats, Once Human hit a peak of 231,668 concurrent players on July 14, 2024, with a strong average of nearly 118,837 players over the last month. As of July 16, 2024, the game boasts a thriving player base of over 200,000 people. Recently, the devs have also taken extra steps to reduce the number of cheaters, making it a more enjoyable experience for those who jump in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
