If we're going to delve into technicalities, the number two doesn't mean the word "to" and therefore the acronym is FTP.  Otherwise, you're saying Free Two Play. Like when someone says Got Two Go. It doesn't make sense.
RenX is a FTP game as far as I'm concerned. Freeware would be equally applicable, but the terms aren't mutually exclusive.

FTP may be what you like to call it, but the rest of the world uses the acronym F2P. It may not make sense, but that's the way it is.
Remember, "it's Nod, not NOD" and "it's texturing, not skinning"? Same type of deal here.
RenX also isn't a F2P game because the it has no micro-transactions.
If you want some clarity on the acronym and the business model, please have a skim over this link and you'll find out that free-to-play doesn't mean totally 100% free in the same way that freeware does: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/134959/the_design_of_freetoplay_games_.php ?print=1

They must have some decent advertising. Six hours ago they had 17,000 views on that video, now they have 35,565.

That's because it was posted on reddit.
Also, as far as the "free to play" thing goes, from my understanding that was the agreement between the game's team and EA. EA allowed them to use Command and Conquer assets as long as they never charge money for the game.
Sounds good to me?

Ack, I think you will enjoy the game this time.
|
Do you and ACK still go at it like 6 years ago as I recall it was like back then? 
I remember around way back 2006ish everyone teased you about reborn and about how a newer version was never going to be released. like i recall someone making a joke about hell freezing over..blawblaw then reborn. but anyway after I left the ren community in 2007.. in 2012 so 5 years later I was on moddb or something and was thought about reborn and was like, that mods Gotta be out by now i gotsta check it out.. so i checked and it wasn't and it was still in progress It blew my mind like nooo way its not out yet 5 years later ;p releases 10 years apart
Im sorry im not coming down on you for it just funny in a good way no insult intended, the 2013 release is great I tried it once and now thinking about it.. Im tempted, is there any online games active do you know? ill check anyway.. but great work obviously you had tons of projects going and prob took your time went back and fourth or whatever.. If I started a renegade conversion mod i'd of given up before I started lol

Is there any talk of mod tools or mapping tools I wonder?
and if it does turn out to be good I think i heard something about lord Aircraftkillers plans of making a Renegade-X Renalert conversion mod using his already existing 3D models and map models.. could happen
EDIT: Just saying because it looks like he's bored to tears these days
