I guess that's what happens with these addicting F2P games. If you look at the top 10, half are F2P.

I think it's especially interesting that Switch games trend toward newer games, and only one (I think?) is F2P.

The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don't fit right with the switch ecosystem.
