What's on your mug?

Buying something that gives a big advantage over others.

Hello! I just bought this mega huge gun for 500000 pounds! Did you just pay-to-win that?

The sad truth of the free-to-play business model.

Random guy: OMG! DCU Online is is FREE TO PLAY! Day one purchaser: God fucking damnit Random skeptic: You mean pay-to-win, right?

To instantly gain access to all the game's characters, weapons and abilities with real money.

That dude is level 1 and has all the characters unlocked with the highest tier abilities while I didn't pay and have none, play it dirty and pay-to-win noob.

When you can use money to get a significant advantage over other players in video games. Prime example: EA Sports

Dude, you’ve spent 400 bucks on this game and yet you still lost to that level 1 with poop gear, what a pay-to-win noob.

Pay to win means, for $$$ you can by power ups which are not available in game any other way. I

If these items can not be obtained in anyway that does not involve money, and they are essential to winning, then the game is pay-to-win..
