>What distinction are they trying to make between "free to play" and "free"?

I think the distinction is that Android Platform is "free". The Unreal Tournament Platform is "free".

Both give you usable functionality out of the box, and free. Both give you the opportunity to purchase additional functionality in a "store".

"Free to play" generally means the developer will add more content, or cheats, or whatever to purchase, whereas "free" in this case means they will offer a platform and a store where they will take a cut.

I fully intend on cheating, and it will be amazing!

1) Free to play. 2) Free accounts. 3) Free access to the source code.

This will end magnificently =)

Source access is $20/mo.
