Around $50 79 2.47%
$100 or More 149 4.67%
$20 at The Most 282 8.83%
Maybe $10 421 13.19%
No Money 1827 57.24%

I do, too. I spent over $100 on my last "free to play" game, and I expect that I'll do the same with Battlefield Heroes.

For me, free to play means free to play. I'm probably not going to spend anything on this.

These things in "free to play" games are useful, but are most of the time giving an unfair advantage to anyone willing to pay, obviously the developers of ANY game wouldn't care less if people where paying, but i hate it when i am maybe the same level as some one, and maybe more skilled, and yet they beat me cause they spent $20 on armor that is impenetrable.

I am willing to pay for upgrades, but it depends what I get for the money. I would pay to level faster and some cosmetic upgrades if they improve my game experience.

I fit under the 'no money' category because first of all, I believe EA said that this is a FREE online game. If you were required/wanted to pay for the game or features of it, then things would be sort of ironic.

Make a connection with what I am about to say. People say America is a free country. Funny thing is, there are laws...lol. Same with games, you can play for free, for a price...see what I mean?

PLEASE NOTE, I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF IMPERSONATING THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE A PURPOSE FOR GOVERNMENT WITHOUT LAWS. I JUST PUT IT THERE IS EXPLAIN MY POINT.

So folks, the game is free. What today is free for you guys.
Nomore Dead is free, you also have to pay for it with your life.

So why don`t pay a little bit, to help creating the game?

I would pay, to specialize the hero out of the normal.

50 bucks over years is not much baby.

The exchange rate and so on makes it way to expensive for me so will probably spend nothing. But if the game is good enough who knows

You don't get extra power if you spend money on it, You can buy new clothes and stuff. Not some new better weapon.

I did some calculations on how much money DICE would get from all of us who voted on the poll, and the result is quite surprising.

Out of the 2758 voters 931 people will pay for items. If all of those people buy items of the value they voted on, it will result in $25 200.00 dollars. That is just of 931 people(!) and 2758 people if you include all who voted, which is more accurate.

On the last interview with Ben Cousins he said they estimate that 90 % of the users won't buy any items. In this poll 66 % didn't want to buy anything which means we are above what they estimated. Though, I believe in the real game (with "all" users) the percentage will be closer to what DICE predicted.

DICE sure will get a load of money out of this game, even though it is free. Micro transactions + Advertisement = $$$$. Although it might not be as much as they would have gotten with a priced game, or maybe it will?

Well the thing is once u buy a normal battlefield u pay 1 time.
This game will exist for a couple while and their comes money in from the same person every month.

If they want. Also every new month a new add for them is more $$$ then if they release a game like bf2142.

Cause people who play this game for free see a guy with a cool coat or something.
And decide to just spend 5$ or something for one time.

i will not spend money, and like he said in an intervieuw you can buy items but nothing that influences the balance, and i dont give a shit how my char looks like, but if i find something realy cool for a ltl money i might just buy it ( cuz 1 euro = $1,50 min )

I'm suprised that more people are willing to spend $100 than those who are willing to spend $50
Also, if I was willing to spend $20 or more I would by a retail game

I am willing to spend €100 (around $125) or more if there are nice items to buy. But I guess the items aren't such good at the start so I won't be buying anything yet.

Some of the micro-transactions can purchase things that are unavailble through the valor point system though.

Depends on what there is to buy... I might get a few odds and ends for my character. Mostly if it will allow my sniper to blend in with the surroundings. Those cigars looked cool too.
