f2s or "free to suffer", it's a psychological commercial extortion technique used by f2p games (or Bethesda).
the game will be free to play but it will be horribly grindy. thanks to slow conditioning (boiling frog) most f2p players do not realize anymore how strange it is that they have to pay to move at a normal speed or have to choose between killing a million boar or paying 2,99 for a "booster pack".
they're free to suffer until they pay.
prime examples of this are the systems in games like the elder scrolls online or paladins.
"veterans" often use excuses like "the servers need to be paid" and "dude, just grind a little longer".
completely forgetting that millions of games in other genre's do not need to use these techniques and rely on skins or proper DLC just fine.

families often make a whole lot and eat them for the next weeks. typically during tea time.
i ate some oily balls in Amsterdam, they where delicious.
