@Anti-Matter The game says "free to start" but the entire full game is completely free. You can pay for seasonal "Adventure Passes" which allow you to unlock some special seasonal items earlier than others. These items eventually return and can be obtained without the adventure pass by all players. Additionally these "premium" seasonal items only represent a fraction of the special new items added as a part of each season, as many of these items can be obtained without said adventure pass. In game purchase items are extremely rare, and many times the profits are donated to a charity, such as with the upcoming "days of Nature" event raising money to clean the oceans. Many games do abuse micro transactions but after playing Sky for over a year I really don't believe Sky is one of those games. I never felt pressured into any purchases, and never felt as though my enjoyment of the game was hindered by not making purchases. When I did decide to make purchases it really felt as though I was simply making a purchase that I really wanted, not because I needed to do it to enjoy the game.
