This practice of buying your way to winning isn’t something that should be promoted, instead skill and hard work. People watching eSports aspire to become the pros. I dislike when pay to win games like PB become popular competitively. The FPS options in Indonesia are limited and the expensive CS:GO initial cost scares away most. I think the only reason people still play this game is because of subculture and its already well known reputation. For Point Blank you have to invest real life money and time as well (for missions), otherwise it would be unfair competition nullifying your chances of competing with pros. Weapon skins in CS:GO are simply vanity items and does not change gameplay in any way. To be a professional in Counter Strike, you can jump in right away and with the right skill you can compete with the best and proceed to become the best. Completing these tasks offers the player traits like accuracy, recoil, axe/knife throw distance, damage and the like.

Point Blank has another feature called missions where you are given a set of simple in game tasks. The fact that you can buy weapons from the start makes it unfair for the newcomers of the game. Using real life money you can buy such rifles but their gold or silver variations which give extra rounds per magazine and are basically a paid upgrade. Normal rifles can be bought using in game money accumulated over time. When their duration expires you must rebuy the weapon. Also, they are not permanently bought but instead borrowed for some time, usually a week or a month.

More than half of the weapons available are only acquired through buying them with real money.

New weapons are added every big update and it changes the pace of the game. Point Blank’s competitive scene looks to be very volatile. There are a set of unchangeable rules but to be the best skill, reflex and game knowledge are essential. This is a reason to why CS is one of the most competitive eSports games to date. Somewhat like Dota, the essence and mechanics that made it the game everyone loved a decade ago are still there. It’s balanced and simple with a straightforward objective.

Let’s look at CS:GO as an example of a favorable game. One huge influential factor I’d like to discuss about that differs PB from CS:GO is that the former is literally a pay to win game.
