Free-to-play isn't a business model. Free-to-play is a marketing strategy. It's a way to get people over the hump of trying out your game. It gets rid of the friction that happens when you charge an upfront fee.

WHAT DOES THE HUMP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

the hump

The Hump

British India Empire of Japan Strength *27 aircraft; 1,100 men *640 aircraft; 34,000 military Casualties and losses 594 aircraft lost, missing, or written off 1,659 personnel killed or missing The Hump was the name given by Allied pilots in the Second World War to the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains over which they flew military transport aircraft from India to China to resupply the Chinese war effort of Chiang Kai-shek and the units of the United States Army Air Forces based in China. Creating an airlift presented the USAAF a considerable challenge in 1942: it had no units trained or equipped for moving cargo, and no airfields existed in the China Burma India Theater for basing the large number of transports that would be needed. Flying over the Himalayas was extremely dangerous and made more difficult by a lack of reliable charts, an absence of radio navigation aids, and a dearth of information about the weather. The task was initially given to the U.S. Tenth Air Force, and then to the AAF's Air Transport Command.
