Free-to-play model
Free-to-play, also known as F2P or FtP, refers to video games which give players access to a significant portion of their content without paying. Since the company's creation, games of IGG has traditionally followed a freemium model where players can play a fully functional game for free, but also have the opportunity to upgrade their gaming experience through a variety of microtransactions. While supporters argue that F2P games give the players more financial freedom as to how much each individual player wants to play, critics of the system have claimed that the F2P model unfairly favors players who spend more on each game as shown by all games of this type across all the available platforms.

WeGamers is a social app launched in June 2016 to help players of IGG games to become more connected. Players can use this app as a way to discuss game strategies, to call for other players when in battle, or to simply chat like any other social app.
