Define "free". Like I said before, the whole point of F2P is to generate revenue, so obviously free to play is never going to be "free" as in freeware-free.

You can download, install and play a substantial part of it without having to pay anything, so in that regard it is free. Wolfenstein and Doom both had 10-level shareware episodes that anyone could play for free, as did Quake, and if you wanted the full game you paid the developer. Of course they wouldn't put out the full games for nothing - games are not a charity.
